would be very nice if pd used the open dialog of the current system (like gnome open dialog under gnome, windows under windows, etc...)
as i have many links to my favorite places on the left side of the gnome open dialog, it would speed things up a lot! and of course, i bet everyone wants to hide those hidden files :)
i have no idea if this is technically possible, i would assume in the worst case (besides not possible at all) we would use some bindings... but for every system ?
is there an universal open dialog api ? ;)

ps. under linux we could also use "zenity --file-selection" (or similar) http://directory.fsf.org/project/zenity/
and heres something found in the tcl/tk wiki http://wiki.tcl.tk/15897

This would be huge, it would greatly help the newbies. In workshops,
a lot of people had trouble with those open/save panels.There are quite a few apps written with Tcl/Tk for GNU/Linux, so I am
sure we are not the first to want this feature. I would be very
surprised if another Tcl/Tk app hasn't solved this already.I have had good luck with the #tcl room.

This would be a Good Thing ... I wasn't of the impression it would
be easy to do though. I've been assuming that would necessitate writing,

smarter way to do it I'd love to know about it.cheers Miller

Ok,
Here's another todo for Linux I am willing to solve, along with
drag and drop and better desktop integration: hidden folders in the file
browser.PD defaults to the home folder of the current user, which is full
of hidden folders (.foldername) which are naturally listed fist. This means
that every time I go to open or save something I have to scroll the little browser window past these (non-)hidden folders to my visible
folders. Yeah, I know, its a small thing, but I always find it annoying. This is something that other applications which use the GTK-gnome
file browser handle and hitting Ctrl-H toggles hidden file display.I don't have a huge signal processing background, so I'll try and
help in my own way :P.-- Dan Wilcox danomatika www.robotcowboy.com
