Maybe the GTK library (GtkFileChooser, to be specific) could show the native Windows dialog, if available? One standardised file chooser can't satify all needs, but a solution is that there are hooks and other mechanisms that allow applications to extend the file chooser. However this should be discussed in a GTK forum/mailing list. -- Richard H. _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
