Nah, not needing to find files, but need a way to select a dir I want it to save them to, sorta like requestfile or whatever it was on the Amiga. Something I can just drop in and it will brind up a dialog for selecting a dir. Not found much throught google or anything... probally just going to write a little py script to take care of it.
