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.  Thanks to Torsten and Noury  David Totally Objects  On 27 Jan 2021, at 16:24, Torsten Bergmann <astares@gmx.de[mailto:astares@gmx.de]> wrote: Hi David, welcome! 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.  Thanks Torsten  David Pennington wrote:
I am moving to Pharo from VisualAge Smalltalk as I am now using an M1 MacBook.
I am building software to manage our home accounts and to do this, I download each day a text file from my bank that contains about 1 monthâs worth of transactions. In VAST, I use a FileSelector that opens a window and enables my to navigate to the Downloads folder and lets me select the current transaction file. This gives me the path to the file making it simple for me to open and parse it.
Is there a similar file selector window that I can use in Pharo? I can see how to open the Glamour browsers but not how to extract the path.
Can anyone help please?
