fileBrowserDialog needs special care - you have to supply it with exactly the right number of arguments and of a particular type. That having been said you can trick it into doing what you want pretty easily. See below:
##### import maya.cmds as cmds def printPath( filePath, fileType ): cmds.file( filePath, q=True, ex=True); print filePath return 1 cmds.fileBrowserDialog( m=4, fc=printPath , ft='image', an='Import_Image', om='Import' ) ##### As long as you supply the function call with the needed arguments that *look* correct you can get it to return what you are looking for without issue. I'll eat my hat if this does not work on the Mac (and will verify shortly for you). This is the first time I've tried it with Python, but I have never had any issues with this using MEL - other than the weird structuring of the function call. Chris Lizard Lounge Graphics, LTD.
