Yes, there seems to be repeatedly requests for a native windows file dialog.

BTW: IMHO, this would make an approach for a native windows version 
obsolete (sorry to say, Gerald). The current look and feel including 
GTK-Wimp is almost perfect even for Windows users :-)

Except for the several places that lacks of general usability (see the 
WishList), but this is more of a question about the general program 
behaviour and not "a toolkit problem".

After finishing the capture privilege separation, hmmm, even no time to 
continue on this right now:-( I might have a look at this win32 file 
dialog topic (well,  my personal to do list becomes very "complex"). .

However, this won't be any help for all the other platforms we support.
