+This class provides the file selection dialog. It incorporates OS-native features
+depending on the OS in use, and can be used both for open and save operations. 
+The files displayed can be filtered by setting up a wildcard filter, multiple files
+can be selected (open only), and files can be forced in a read-only mode.
 
+There are two ways to get the results back from the dialog. GetFiles() returns only
+the file names themselves, in a Python list. GetPaths() returns the full path and 
+filenames combined as a Python list.
