I'm having trouble getting the fileGetDialog to work properly on a Mac. The dialog pops up, but I cannot get it to let me select any of the files in the folder. I've tried all kinds of different file types like TEXT, TXT, ttxt etc... Anyone know what the correct syntax is for this function? I would be happy if the dialog would let me even select all files with no filter.

Thanks.

I've had the same problem, it should be "TEXT txt" but this only seems to work
with some types of text document. To get access to all files you can just use:

fileGetDialog("your_message_here", "" )

This is a very old thread, but I'm experiencing the same problem in CS3 in 2008 :evil:

Except leaving the filter as "" does not work either, no text files are selectable. Strangely, the only selectable files appear to be .jsx files, no matter what the filter is set to.
