Indeed, it messes up the result when there is a wildcard in the path:

IDL> dir='~/idl'
IDL> file='readcube.pro'
IDL> print,dialog_pickfile(file=file,path=dir)
/home/penteado/idl/~/idl/readcube.pro

When I tested it before I had used an absolute path, and that was
returned correctly:

IDL> dir='/home/penteado/idl'
IDL> print,dialog_pickfile(file=file,path=dir)
/home/penteado/idl/readcube.pro

But it also messes it up with a relative path:

IDL> cd,'/home/penteado'
IDL> dir='idl'
IDL> print,dialog_pickfile(file=file,path=dir)
/home/penteado/idl/idl/readcube.pro

Though with other flavours of relative paths the results are ugly-
looking but valid:

IDL> dir='./idl'
IDL> print,dialog_pickfile(file=file,path=dir)
/home/penteado/./idl/readcube.pro

IDL> dir='../penteado/idl'
IDL> print,dialog_pickfile(file=file,path=dir)
/home/penteado/../penteado/idl/readcube.pro
