[Qgis-developer] native file dialogs

[Marco Hugentobler]

Hi all (especially Tim as app maintainer)

Are there any objections against using native file dialogs where possible? If 
not, I'm going to change the file dialogs in several places (similar to the 
attached example patch which does the change for 'open OGR vector layer').

According to the Qt docs, QFileDialog::getOpenFileNames and similar open a 
native dialog on Windows and OSX. Whereas creating a QFileDialog and calling 
exec() creates a 'normal' QFileDialog.

Advantage of the native dialog is not only the look and feel but also options 
like network drives on windows.

Regards,
Marco
