Hi !

I have tried everything and search everywhere, with no luck… so here it goes…

I want to make a stand-alone application, where I can browse my harddisk and find an image, that if selected will be loaded in the application.

Using fileReference is not the anwser since this is only for upload/download files…

I have seen some forum posts that may suggests that a javascript would be able to solve this problem, but no tutorials or actual code … :puzzle:

Do you guys have any ideas or input to a sollution ?!?

Thanks in advance
