Hi Dianne, Currently, OI File Manager supports the newly introduced intents PICK_FILE http://www.openintents.org/en/node/164 and PICK_DIRECTORY http://www.openintents.org/en/node/165
Both return a "file://" URI instead of a "content://" URI. This is useful in cases where the user wants to choose a directory on the SD card (to put several files into), or a file name on the SD card (like in a "Save As..." dialog). But it is a good suggestion that we should additionally support GET_CONTENT + "*/*" for existing files.
