I'm not 100% sure this isn't just a lack of documentation.  When using EML 2
Dataset on a compressed data table (so using the As UnCompressed File Name Data
Output Format), EML 2 Dataset will not function properly without a value in the
File Extension Filter parameter.  There does not seem to be a way to get all
the files, regardless of extension, nor does there seem to be a way to get
multiple extension types.

Personally, I'd be happy if the actor returned all files if the File Extension
Parameter is blank.
