and switching to getOpenFile for file selection.

That seems very odd, as it seems to destroy the purpose behind the module , which is to avoid getOpenFile by implementing a different look/feel...

Uhm, I'm not sure I I'd miss something here. Where do you get the information that Tk::FileEntry uses the far ugliest file selector on purpose?

I thought it's used because at the time when the module was written, there was no getOpenFile implementation for all OS'.

So, if this is not the case and Tk::FileEntry will be stuck with this scarecrow dialog, then my patch (which did not get any attention) was absolutely obsolete and I will have to do it myself anyway.

What do you think of Tk::FilePicker?
