/>Hi<br /><br /> It uses it's own dialogue because it has to work with file storage<br /> either on the local machine
indesktop mode, or on the server if<br /> running in server mode. You can control the root of the storage area<br /> by
specifyinga path in the config_local.py file - this is the<br /> default:<br /><br />
##############################<wbr/>##############################<wbr />##############<br /> # Storage Manager storage
urlconfig settings<br /> # If user sets STORAGE_DIR to empty it will show all volumes if platform<br /> # is Windows,
'/'if it is Linux, Mac or any other unix type system.<br /><br /> # For example:<br /> # 1. STORAGE_DIR =
get_drive("C")or get_drive() # return C:/ by default<br /> # where C can be any drive character such as "D", "E", "G"
etc<br/> # 2. Set path manually like<br /> # STORAGE_DIR = "/path/to/directory/"<br />
##############################<wbr/>##############################<wbr />##############<br /> STORAGE_DIR =
os.path.join(<br/>     DATA_DIR,<br />     'storage'<br /> )<br /><br /> In desktop mode, you should have access to all
filesystems.<br/><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br /> --<br /> Dave Page<br /> Blog: <a
