File browser extension

[Terry Judd]

You can use files() and folders() to get a list of files and folders in the
default directory and then create a combined listing based on this. If
you're happy enough using generic folder and file icons then it's fairly
trivial (a tabbed field with the file and folder icons set using the
imagesource property). If you want the icons to reflect the file
type/extension then it's more complicated (you really need an external for
this).
