Detailed Description

The goal of this class is to make sure that, when the user needs to specify a file via the file selection dialog, this dialog will start in the directory most likely to contain the desired files.

This works as follows: Each time the file selection dialog is shown, the programmer can specify a "file-class". The file-dialog will then start with the directory associated with this file-class. When the dialog closes, the directory currently shown in the file-dialog will be associated with the file-class.

A file-class can either start with ':' or with '::'. If it starts with a single ':' the file-class is specific to the current application. If the file-class starts with '::' it is global to all applications.
