+Pops up a file selector box. In Windows and GTK2.4+, this is the common
+file selector dialog. In X, this is a file selector box with somewhat less
+functionality. The path and filename are distinct elements of a full file pathname.
If path is ``", the current directory will be used. If filename is ``",
no default filename will be supplied. The wildcard determines what files
are displayed in the file selector, and file extension supplies a type
extension for the required filename. Flags may be a combination of wxOPEN,
-wxSAVE, wxOVERWRITE\_PROMPT, wxHIDE\_READONLY, wxFILE\_MUST\_EXIST, wxMULTIPLE or 0.
+wxSAVE, wxOVERWRITE\_PROMPT, wxHIDE\_READONLY, wxFILE\_MUST\_EXIST,
+wxMULTIPLE, wxCHANGE\_DIR or 0.
Both the X and Windows versions implement a wildcard filter. Typing a
filename containing wildcards (*, ?) in the filename text item, and
types of file with a description for each, such as:
\begin{verbatim}
- "BMP files (*.bmp)|*.bmp|GIF files (*.gif)|*.gif"
+ "BMP and GIF files (*.bmp;*.gif)|*.bmp;*.gif|PNG files (*.png)|*.png"
\end{verbatim}
It must be noted that wildcard support in the native Motif file

+{\bf NB:} Previous versions of wxWidgets used {\tt wxCHANGE\_DIR} by default
under MS Windows which allowed the program to simply remember the last
directory where user selected the files to open/save. This (desired)
functionality must be implemented in the program itself now (manually remember
the last path used and pass it to the dialog the next time it is called) or
by using this flag.
