[New-bugs-announce] [issue12219] tkinter.filedialog.askopenfilename XT dialog on Windows 7

[Herm Fischer]

New submission from Herm Fischer <fischer at markv.com>:

tkinter.filedialog.askopenfilename works fine on the Windows builds of Python 3.1.

However on Python 3.2 (Windows builds via Active State), this dialog comes up with the old Windows XT style on Windows 7 (missing navigation pane) and the dialog is not resizable (it was resizable in Python 3.1).

Application users are inconvenienced, trouble opening long file names.

Is there a work-around in Python 3.2?
