The latest view beta's request-file uses local-request-file. He's probably on windows and so sees the os native requester. I get the same behaviour and didn't see a way yet to set the filename (and actually see it in the requester). Perhaps make a way in your program to easily copy the filename so the user can paste it in the filename field. I expect that behaviour will be fixed eventually, though.
