Hey Alan,
How's it going?
Try using the fileDialog command instead, it's a modal dialog that will wait
for the resulting output.
If you are running 2011 you should use fileDialog2 command instead.
If you are set on using the old fileBrowserDialog command with custom
function call than you pretty much have to wrap it into a mel.eval call for
it to work correctly.
Example from some code:
mel.eval ('global proc int getFolderPath (string $fileName, string
$fileType) {python ("Usualy a call to a proper python function you want to
execute!");return true;}')
mel.eval ('fileBrowser "getFolderPath" "Select Path" "Caption" 4;')
Cheers!
