It would be great if ask_save_file would take an optional argument of a
default filename that is displayed in the save file dialog, which is a nice
way of telling a user what file-extension the file should use. Another
reason for why that would be useful? I just started writing a helper utility
for developing AIR applications. One feature of the app is a GUI for
creating application descriptor files. These are xml files and you usually
give them a filename of "application.xml". By setting this as the default
save filename, the user would just have to choose the directory the file
gets saved in and wouldn't need to type in "application.xml" anymore.

Another thing I'd like is an ask_open_folder method, to let the user choose
a folder for processing/output. I could really use this for my chatlog2html
converter, so that I can convert whole folders of logs in one go by scanning
a folder recursively for logs instead of having to select each log
separately by using ask_open_file.

Thanks for taking the time to read this gibberish.
