COMMENTS

This issue was originally a part of issue #52, but that issue was broken into separate issues.

[Robert Leach]

I no longer think this feature makes sense. E.g. what happens when a user selects a file from the recent files menu? Does the file get selected or does it dismiss the dialog entirely. Either way, it's non-standard as far as open dialogs go.
