John: If it's a beefed up save file dialog, ABM Mac Extras Plugin might be of some help on OS X. I'd go with Win32API on Windows.
ABM 1.5.2 is in a system that's running in 12.6. I traded email with Matthias in 6/15 about using it in a newer version and he indicated that it works in 13. I've used it in preliminary testing in 14.6 and it works OK.

Let me know, if you're interested and I send you the last UB build. We will soon post it on our website.
