Folks,
I am looking for someone running a UNIX version of
IDL 7.1 to confirm that the problem described in
this article dealing with Dialog_Pickfile has
been fixed.
http://www.dfanning.com/fileio_tips/unixpickfile.html
Specifically, if you specify both a file name and
a path when you call Dialog_Pickfile, and then do
nothing else except hit the Accept button, the file name
that is returned has two paths appended to it and is
bogus.
I am interested in what is in the Selection box,
and what is returned.
I am, say we say, dubious. :-)
Thanks,
David

I had encountered with this bug a while ago on Red Hat release 4. The
way around to this was to use EXPAND_PATH() function.
IDL> theDirectory = EXPAND_PATH('~/IDL/coyote/')
IDL> theFile = 'fsc_surface.pro'
IDL> selectedFile = Dialog_Pickfile(FILE=theFile, PATH=theDirectory)
The file selection box still doesn't look right; as you said it
doesn't look right, but it acts right.
