Custom dialog for tool command... March 11, 2008, 5:49 a.m.

Hi,

I have a tool command that imports a custom file format and creates a network representing the nodes contained in the file.

Currently I have a small Python wrapper that displays a file open dialog and calls my command with the selected file.

However, I now need to extend this to display a custom file browser with additional ‘import’ options.

My question is what is the recommended way of doing this kind of thing?

I've looked through the (somwhat lacking) documentation and spent a while searching in google and there is some mention of dialog scripts but I'm not sure these are what I'm after and I have no idea how to write them anyway!

I'm currently expecting to add a python widget/ui library of some sort and do it that way but I just wanted to check that I hadn't missed something really obvious before I do that?

Thanks in advance
Alan
