Re: GetFile() issue

Changing default folder temporarily is an old trick to make getfile() start at it by default because there is no other way to do it with getfile() Normally it's encapsulated in a method (like select_dir or similar) with code that save actual dir, select dest dir, prompts user with getfile,
