WIP - present a method to use native file selector#49
Conversation
Even if the Fyne file dialogs are OK, it nice to be able to use the native file selector as it proposes some native actions as "create a directory", use bookmarks, etc. Zenity and KDialogs are commonly installed in Linux. This work in progress proposes a way to use native dialogs. NOTE: this could be extended to info dialogs, alerts, and many others.

I like this. I actually think that it might be right to have it in the main repository. Their has been demand for native file dialog on Windows and MacOS too. No idea what are others opinion on this, and I would be interested to hear it. |

I came across https://github.com/ncruces/zenity. It might be useful for implementing this more cleanly across multiple platforms. |
Are you sure? Does that not rely on an external binary being installed? |
It does, but so does this PR at the moment. I don't mean that it is a good candidate for being in the main |

I am leaning back in this direction for file dialogs in the main repo - particularly for Windows and macOS. |
