Question

You can use

SelectFolder() to get a folder

or

GetOpenFolderitem(filter as string) to get files

but can you select either a folder or file? ( or for that matter selecting multiple files )

Answer 1

The MonkeyBread plugin allows this in the OpenDialogMBS class.

http://www.monkeybreadsoftware.net/pluginhelp/navigation-opendialogmbs.shtml

OpenDialogMBS.AllowFolderSelection as Boolean property, Navigation, MBS Util Plugin (OpenDialog), class OpenDialogMBS, Plugin version: 7.5, Mac OS X: Works, Windows: Does nothing, Linux x86: Does nothing, Feedback.  Function: Whether folders can be selected. Example:  dim o as OpenDialogMBS dim i,c as integer dim f as FolderItem  o=new OpenDialogMBS o.ShowHiddenFiles=true o.PromptText='Select one or more files/folders:' o.MultipleSelection=false o.ActionButtonLabel='Open files/folders' o.CancelButtonLabel='no, thanks.' o.WindowTitle='This is a window title.' o.ClientName='Client Name?' o.AllowFolderSelection=true o.ShowDialog  c=o.FileCount if c>0 then   for i=0 to c-1     f=o.Files(i)      FileList.List.AddRow f.AbsolutePath   next end if   Notes:  Default is false. Setting this to true on Windows or Linux has no effect there. (Read and Write property)
