People use file selection dialogs?  ;)

They're cumbersome of all platfoms, and OS X's are so abysmally slow that I
nearly always double-click, or drag onto the Dock icon.

To get around dependency of file selection dialogs I've been adding
drag-and-drop to my apps as an option for assigning files; I just added it
to my GZipper (in RevNet) this evening (a currently undocumented feature:
just drop files onto the GZip and GUnzip buttons).
