would be very nice if pd used the open dialog of the current system (like gnome open dialog under gnome, windows under windows, etc...)
as i have many links to my favorite places on the left side of the gnome open dialog, it would speed things up a lot! and of course, i bet everyone wants to hide those hidden files :) i have no idea if this is technically possible, i would assume in the worst case (besides not possible at all) we would use some bindings... but for every system ? is there an universal open dialog api ? ;) .andre ps. under linux we could also use "zenity --file-selection" (or similar) http://directory.fsf.org/project/zenity/ and heres something found in the tcl/tk wiki http://wiki.tcl.tk/15897 On Mon, 2008-03-31 at 11:45 -0400, Hans-Christoph Steiner wrote: > This would be huge, it would greatly help the newbies.
