chooseInput(), chooseOutput(), and chooseFolder() don't seem to work on
linux when using OpenGL.
I get this error loading OpenGL:
get fences failed: -1
param: 6, val: 0

but OpenGL has worked generally fine.

Tested on a 2005 MacBook running Ubuntu 9.04 development branch, Processing
1.0.3, KDM (KDE).

import processing.opengl.*;
void setup(){
size(200,200,OPENGL);
}

void draw(){
println(selectInput()); //does nothing.
}

I have the same problem. Any news on this?

No news.
I ended up basically making my own file browser, stripped down of course: a list of available
files in a preset folder, from which the user could choose one to load. That could easily have
been expanded to traverse the filesystem...

rlfbckr - in your case you're only seeing the problem on linux as well?
