Note that this is *new* stuff, not changes to stuff that has been around before. So at the worst all we have to do is delete the classes. 

Given that the dialogs are built with the ToolBuilder I’d hope that it has all the functions that you’d expect built in - other wise we’ve messed up and not produced a very useful tool building tool. So far as I can see the tree view seems to do what I’d expect with cursor keys etc. It doesn’t look like the file list does anything other than up/down cursor actions. I did point out that PluggableMultiColumnList appeared to need some love; I can’t imagine it would be too complex to move over appropriate functionality so long as one knows what that is! The FileChooserDialog of course has filtering via the pattern input field anyway.

There are no menus to worry about right now and I can’t think of any that would be needed.. I think? Maybe add a connection to a ServerDirectory sometime, and that could need a menu or extra button? There aren’t replacements of FileList as a file browser, but of the rather messy (ab)use of bits of FileList (and FileList2 in some places) as UIs to pick a file to load or a place to save a file.
