Is there a way to change the behaviour of dialog_pickfile so that the "file"
side of the dialog box only shows the name part of the filename, rather then
the whole path? The way it exists now, if you're more than about 1 level
deep in the directory structure, you can't see what filename you're selecting.

If you are using dialog_pickfile in the context of a larger widget
program, then de-sensitize the top-level base of the calling program
just before dialog_pickfile is called (see the SENSITIVE keyword for
WIDGET_CONTROL). Once a value is returned by dialog_pickfile,
re-sensitize the top-level base.

Cheers,
Liam.
