Question: I was wondering if there is a way to create a lua function to browse for a folder or set directory folder?

    ah we have a C++ API call for that, suppose we could make a ReaScript version...

    This would be great if you could add that to use in a lua script. Much appreciated! Thanks!

    added GetUserFileName() in the latest +dev, can ask for open/save/dir/multiple open

    Wow. Thanks so much. I like the newer vista and above folder dialog. If a user is still on XP, does it fall back to the older dialog?
