Nadya,

>I've discussed this issue before. Basically, I like all built-in Explorer functionality (ability to sort by date, type, etc.) to name one of them...

It sounded like you wanted a more controlled environment since you wanted to use a specific mask.

>I think, it would be a good improvement to GetFile dialog if it would support file mask and a starting directory...

You can do a CD before calling GetFile() and restore it afterwards.
