Port to Qt File Chooser, with history enhancment trades off on some nice features from the native Windows File Chooser. [Phil, 8-6-2007].

The native Windows file chooser is shown with:

(1) use of the Galaxy file chooser.

(2) use of the static QFileDialog methods, which don't allow modifications to the dialog box other than those controlled by parameters.


The Qt-provided file chooser is required for appending recently accessed directories to the "Look In" option menu.

It lacks many of the directory items available in the native Windows file chooser, e.g. "My Documents" (compare with image above).

ASIDE: It's strange that the "C:/Documents and Settings/philw/" item isn't getting a file folder icon. I don't know why the system has a problem with that path. ... FIXED.
