17 Apr 2007	jonny e	Doesn't work for me. Doesn't "remember" last directory visited...maybe I am doing something wrong
17 Apr 2007	Chris Cannell	Jonny, Is the directory from which you call the script writable? The script saves a small mat file in the directory from which the script is called. Also, directories are only remembered if the selection is completed (i.e. if you cancel the selection dialog no directory will be remembered).
22 Apr 2007	Chris Cannell	The problem Jonny reported has been fixed and the script works fine. Thank you.
01 Oct 2008	jonny e	indeed! it works now...thanks!

Updates
18 Apr 2007	Added a check for empty string passed as first argument so you can specify dialog text as the second argument and still make use of the last used directory feature. Thanks to Jonathan Erickson for the bug report.
