OpenDialog

public class OpenDialog : FileDialog

The OpenDialog provides an interactive dialog box for users to select files or directories.

The open dialog can be used to select files for opening, it can be configured to allow multiple items to be selected (based on the allowsMultipleSelection) variable and you can control whether this should allow files or directories to be selected. To use, create an instance of OpenDialog, and pass it to Application.present. When complete, the list of files will be available in the `filePaths property.

To select more than one file, users can use the spacebar, or control-t.
