Adam: Yes, at the very least we need an error dialog. I wonder if we should put in real directory browsing, i.e. adding '..' and directory names to the file list. :/

_Em: Weird. Do paths behave like they do on Unix on OSX or do they still follow the old convention? If so, then it could be a delimeter problem in the code (IIRC the code appends a trailing forward slash to the path if it's not there)...

OS X paths are kind of funny in that they both support the UNIX way of doing things, and the old MacOS way of doing them. In the OS X filesystem, / and : mean the same thing and are translated automaticly if you use the proper FS calls. I think that / is the default.

: is deprecated on OS X as far as I know. / is the standard.
