> What do you mean by a lot? another problem I had was with privileges ... it shows folder of a root but when I click it it throws DirectoryDoesNotExist and not PermissionDenied (or something); but this is negligible issue - i clicked on the folder randomly to try the Inspector.
Also as mentioned above it shows hidden folders. Hidden folders are hidden for a reason so I would expect navigator to respect it. And last (for now) is sorting names. By default it doesn't sort and if i sort by name it mixes files and folders. But there is really no point in iterating these issues... all I want to have is regular FileOpen/FileClose dialog.
