The application is meant to become x-platform; prefarably linux osX and 
win. I use:

dialog=wx.FileDialog(None,'Choose picture file',defDir,\
     style=wx.OPEN | wx.FD_MULTIPLE,wildcard=wcard)

and supposed that the wx dialog would work on linux. I did not yet test 
this because the app depends on a lib (dll) which I have not yet made to 
work in Linux (it's pascal and freepascal has a problem I have to dive 
into).
