A FileSelector widget would be pretty useful
See original GitHub issueDefinitely not a bug, and maybe I’m missing it (I’m pretty new to Toga) but looking through the Reference docs, there does not appear to be a FileSelector (or whatever) widget: the one that pops up when opening or saving “as” a file.
That seems a pretty basic and useful feature (of course, one could do with a text-box and Load or Save button, but that’s positively 1980’s): any chance it could be provided? Does it already exist and it is just not mentioned in the docs?

Having given your question a bit more thought, it’s fair to say that the How-To section is on the slim side, so maybe a “guided app” how-to would be nice: essentially, the full app cycle, from the user opening a file, to doing something with it, to saving it would be useful.
As this is exactly what I’ll be doing for my encryption app I may be convinced at some point to write up my journey 😃
@freakboy3742 Oh good… Interesting that they are attached to the Window object (philosophically this could perhaps be the right decision?). I had remained on the comment of 2020, that it wasn’t documented; but this was obviously done in the mean time.
I guess that if one wanted to write a ready-made widget that included a label, a text entry field, and a button that opens a file dialog, what would not be too difficult to do?
