Cardinal code for osdialog_file()

[gregh3285]

Has anyone put work into creating a version of osdialog_file() that fits into the Cardinal architecture? I've tried updating JW-Modules and alefsbits to newer versions require osdialog_file() that Cardinal does not provide. I'd investigate but want to be respectful of work already underway.

the osdialog_file is intentionally not provided, because it is a blocking API.
Cardinal uses async dialogs instead, code from modules that use file browsers needs to be patched for such async setup.

You can see an example of how to port this to work with Cardinal async dialogs here: sebastien-bouffier/Bidoo@v2...CardinalModules:Bidoo:cardinal

Thanks @falkTX and @dromer for the quick responses. I'm trying my hand at getting JW-Modules' Grains working with the design pattern @dromer suggests.

After a bit of learning, I've got JW-Module's Grains running. And, I can save and load wave files with async_dialog_filebrowser. Some more work to do on other module. Hopefully by the end of the week I'll have tested and be ready to submit a PR to JW-Module with my updates.

Please also PR to Cardinal once that is merged, as we are about 11 months behind at the moment :)
