(I wasn’t referring to opening apps, but to files generally.)

Clicking OK won’t do anything until the user selects something, and the app 
can’t preset or change the selection. Maybe my logic is incorrect, but this 
seems to me to prevent attempts to fool the user into choosing something 
unintended.
