If it's easy to do, yes, but since
- IIRC the win dialog is a bit bugged
- the qt/kde (?) dialog sometimes does stupid annoying things
- the gtk dialog was a bit bugged too
...
well, i think that relaying on an external file selector could be
"dangerous" for the stability of an application.
anyway, if there is an "easy" way do do that, then we could simply state
in the documentation a warning, but i don't like so much the idea of
implementing something potentially broken... :)
