The file dialog API provides functions for opening files and folders. Example opening files:

editor_fileDialog.openFile(
  -- callback called when user selects and opens the file
  -- will not be called if it cancels the operation
  function(data)
    -- data contains a table with file information
  end, {{"Camera Path Files",".camPath.json"}}, false, "")

API functions:

bool editor.openFile(function callbackFn, string filenameSuffix, bool selectFolder, string defaultPath = “/”)

Open a windows to open a file or folder

:param callbackFn: Callback funtion, see editor_fileDialog::callbackFn :param filenameSuffix: Filename suffix (eg: {{"Any files", "*"},{"Images",{".png", ".dds", ".jpg"}},{"DDS Files",".dds"}}) :param selectFolder: Select a folder or a file :param defaultPath: Default path the dialog will open with :param withPreview: Display a preview of the selected file within the file dialog window

bool editor.saveFile(function callbackFn, string filenameSuffix, bool selectFolder, string defaultPath = “/”)
