Why don't try this trick ?

| aSuffixList |
    oldFolder _ FileDirectory default pathName.
    newFolder _ FileList2 modalFolderSelector.
    FileDirectory setDefaultDirectory: newFolder pathName.
aSuffixList _#('.gif' '.jpg' '.png' ).


    imagesList _ OrderedCollection new.
    aSuffixList do:
        [:aSuffix | aSuffixList addAll: (FileDirectory default
fileNamesMatching: '*', aSuffix)].

for example.
Wonks on Mac 9 and X and Windows.
Remember restore the default or Squeak could continue working on selected
directory for all things (like Squeak.log).
