Missing file chooser control

[Richard Bair]

It is unlikely that we will build a customizable file chooser dialog in the core platform. Is it possible to create one in, for example, jfxtras? Our experience with the file chooser in Swing was that it was an incredible time sink and seemingly never pleased anybody. It was customized though and there is no doubt people want such a dialog. But I see it as a good 3rd party control opportunity (maybe several of them to please the varied use cases).
