It works fine on the Mac with Maya 2009 and 2008. Maya 8.5 SP1P08 on the Mac does not play well with this. I also just noticed an errant semicolon which doesn't break my code, but really should not be there.
##### 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' ) ##### Chris Lizard Lounge Graphics, LTD.
