[SailfishDevel] File chooser

[Superpelican]

IMHO a file picker/chooser/dialog should be the number 1 priority for the Sailors right now, now's the time to get the devs aboard and keep the ones already aboard happy ;) IMHO feature updates to the OS (like landscape mode for the stock browser) can wait until the dev stuff is sorted out. Next up my priority list would be a decent (not dumbed down) file manager app.

Kind Regards,

Superpelican :)
