Welcome david
Just a remark, the file dialogs are not really good and torsten started to design a better one named arbour, we started also to create one
with spec2 based on the one of Peter I guess but we could not focus on it and finish.
There is the FileDialog in Pharo-contributions.
I wanted to have one that
- has nice default
- remember the last visited places
on per instance
Now what is super important is that you can improve your situation while improving ours and the one
of everybody because Pharo is really about a nice ecosystem on which its users can have an impact.
So if all smalltalkers in Pharo would spend 30 min for Pharo each week and contribute then Pharo would be different

I am moving to Pharo from VisualAge Smalltalk as I am now using an M1 MacBook.
I am building software to manage our home accounts and to do this, I download each day a text file from my bank that contains about 1 month’s worth of transactions. In VAST, I use a FileSelector that opens a window and enables my to navigate to the Downloads folder and lets me select the current transaction file. This gives me the path to the file making it simple for me to open and parse it.
Is there a similar file selector window that I can use in Pharo? I can see how to open the Glamour browsers but not how to extract the path.
Can anyone help please?
