## About File-Select This library allows you to open native file dialogs to open and save files. This is useful if you have an application that's primarily text based and would like a more convenient file selection utility, or if you are working with a UI toolkit that does not offer a way to access the native file dialogs directly. ## How To After loading it, simply invoke ``new`` or ``existing``. This should bring up a file dialog in the preferred backend for your current system. The backend to use is determined on first call. :: lisp (org.shirakumo.file-select:new :type "png") (org.shirakumo.file-select:existing :multiple T) :: Returned are two values -- the file or files selected as pathnames, and whether the user successfully completed the selection. If the second value is ``NIL``, it means the user aborted the operation by closing or cancelling the dialog. ## Supported Backends The following file selection backends are currently supported: - ``gtk`` - ``macos`` (AppKit/Cocoa) - ``win32`` (IFileDialog) - ``zenity``
