Hello aris63,

Have you checked the documentation about sd-defdialog? In chapter 4.1.1.4 File Selection you find a detailed description of :value-type :filename
If it's not clear, please describe a concrete problem.

It really depends on what you are looking for. Would you like to open a file? Open for reading and/or writing? Would you like to just display a directory? Anything is possible.

Did you have a look into the documentation? There are already a number of examples.

It's not much information you provide. I'm not sure if I can help you. I think the filemanager was designed to define filenames and not directories. What do you want with that directory in your dialog?

I'd suggest to read the docu. There you find the following:

:value-type :filename
:direction :output
:if-exists :overwrite
:fileType :dxf

The filetype you need to define yourself using define-file-type

This assumes that the user can specify a name for the file to store along with the directory where to store the file.
