Hi David, glad we were able to help. Traffic here on mailinglist is low - mostly Pharo and Smalltalk people hang out on Pharo Discord these days - as it is more easy and faster to respond or ask for more details.
Invitation link to Discord is here: https://discord.gg/QewZMZa The link can also be found on the Pharo homepage on "Community". Discord allows to freely chat but even to have live audio chat or screen sharing sessions. There are specific channels different topics like Spec2 (UI), Iceberg, Database, ... and many more. There are also Discord servers for Squeak, Squeak Reunion, Dolphin Smalltalk and other where Smalltalkers are online these days. Due to Corona there are also online virtual events - for instance today UK Smalltalk user group will have again their regulary online Zoom meeting where anyone can freely join: https://www.meetup.com/de-DE/UKSTUG/ I'm sure you will find one or the other known from ST Solution days or other events in these new online formats. You will find me as "astares" on Discord and Twitter https://twitter.com/TorstenAstares Noury and many others are there too. Thanks Torsten David wrote: Both of those were very helpful . Interestingly, I was expecting a file path but I got the actual file so that makes it a bit easier. Great group. I will enjoy being here.

Just check UIManager default chooseExistingFileReference: 'Select the XML file' extensions: #('xml' 'xmi') path: ''. and similar methods. Be aware that a return value of nil means that dialog was canceled.
