I'd argue that we should use GetOpenFileName() instead of

Yes, there seems to be repeatedly requests for a native windows file dialog.

BTW: IMHO, this would make an approach for a native windows version obsolete (sorry to say, Gerald). The current look and feel including GTK-Wimp is almost perfect even for Windows users :-)

Except for the several places that lacks of general usability (see the WishList), but this is more of a question about the general program behaviour and not "a toolkit problem".

After finishing the capture privilege separation, hmmm, even no time to continue on this right now:-( I might have a look at this win32 file dialog topic (well, my personal to do list becomes very "complex"). .

However, this won't be any help for all the other platforms we support.
