I'm enjoying Julia, but one thing I'm missing is standard file open and file save dialogs. I've found the Gtk package and tried that. It does indeed generate a file dialog, but it is really ugly and nonstandard (on OS X) and also generates the following error like messages in the terminal (below). Perhaps there is something wrong with my installation.
Is there something like how R works where you can just type "> file.choose()" and a nice file picker dialog comes up. -Eric Gtk-Message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent.
