-- if no dir is given, start on UserDirectory
fs = lovefs(dir[string])

dialogs.lua

Load and Save Dialog using loveframes (modified.)

-- create a load-dialog
dialog = loadDialog(window_fs, filters)

-- create a save-dialog
dialog = saveDialog(window_fs, filters)

Example:

fs = fsload()
dialog = loadDialog(fs, {'All | *.*', 'Images | *.jpg *.bmp *.png'})

On close with OK, the path of the chosen file is at fs.selectedFile
