Hi Paulo,
The native FileDialog on MS Windows doesn't support choosing both files
and directories simultaneously (at least on Windows XP and earlier.)
Thus we can't provide this functionality as a platform-independent
feature at this time.
Please use JFileChooser for this purpose.

Well, long story short is that my app has to choose both files and
directories. Directories are used to "mass import", and files to singly
import.
Not having the ability to add files impedes using FileDialog. What's the
story behind that limitation of "Only Files" and could it be
reconsidered? I doubt java even installs on the windows version where
that was a requirement to use the native file chooser.
Please don't tell me to use JFileChooser. :\
