It would be close to impossible to integrate that approach with PLT's wxWidgets based GUI toolkit in a sensible way. And it would introduce a very heavy weight dependency. Furthermore, using the native file open dialog for whichever platform you're running on is usually a good idea. It improves integration with the rest of the operating system and using it doesn't feel awkward for the person in front of the screen... cu, Thomas
