I'm switching from 5.3 to 6.0 and found one annoying difference in the
behavior of dialog_pickfile. In 5.3 under UNIX I get the following
result:
result=dialog_pickfile(/dir)
print,result
IDL> /disks/sprite/disk1/hfrey/
In 6.0 the result is different:
result=dialog_pickfile(/dir)
print,result
IDL> /disks/sprite/disk1/hfrey/./
With very good eyes (the font size is also different!) you see that
little dot and you have to actively remove it. Any suggestions how to
solve this without specifically deleting the dot?

Harald,
RSI Tech Support recently let me know that they'd found a bug in v6.0 Pickfile,
which should be fixed in the 6.1 Beta.
So I wouldn't get too hung up on the current situation, as it will hopefully
change for the better soon.
