Hi, I will look at it and add the methods to the Phobos code. You have to take into account that Phobos uses client-server architecture where server can be on a different computer. Then Pharo will not have direct access to the file provided by XULRunner client. Cheers, -- Pavel 2014-08-25 11:10 GMT+02:00 kmo <voxkmp@gmail.com>:

It's Ok I think I've got it.

You can add a method like this to your main.js:

function doFileOpen() { /* See: http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/XUL_Tutorial:Open_and_Save_Dialogs */

var nsIFilePicker = Components.interfaces.nsIFilePicker; var fp = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/filepicker;1"].createInstance(nsIFilePicker);

fp.init(window, "Open File", nsIFilePicker.modeOpen); fp.appendFilters(nsIFilePicker.filterText | nsIFilePicker.filterAll);

var res = fp.show(); if (res == nsIFilePicker.returnOK) { var thefile = fp.file; return(thefile.leafName); // --- do something with the file here --- } }

Then call it from pharo with an evaluateJS method - if you return the filename from the javascript method pharo can pick it up:

MyPhobosComponent>>getFilename |res|

res:= self evaluateJS:'doFileOpen();'.

Of course, you could build the entire javascript method as a string in pharo and call it using evaluteJS but it's simpler to put it into main.js as deaing with embedded quotes is fiddly.
