# S3 method for tcltkGUI
dlg_open(

  title = if (multiple) "Select files" else "Select file",
  multiple = FALSE,
  filters = dlg_filters["All", ],
  ...,
  gui = .GUI
)

title

A title to display on top of the dialog box.

multiple

Is a multiple selection of files allowed?

filters

A specification of file filters as a nx2 matrix, or a character string with even number of items. First items is the label, second one is the filter. See dlg_filters for examples. This is currently ignored on MacOS and RStudio, since such kind of filter is defined differently there.
