Build Identifier:  M20080911-1700

Hi I'm trying to created an adapted UI which supports both Local and Remote files handling.
When I tried to make us of the default implementation of FileSystemConfiguration.browseFileSystem() for browsing local files, it opens only  Folder dialog. I found that the implementation didn't care about files browsing.

The implementer may have known that both File and Folders Browsing are necessary  in this implementation. It would be better if it also supports selection multi-selections, accepting dialog title.

Thanks.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.See the FileSystemConfiguration.browseFileSystem() implementation in FileSystemSupportRegistry.

It will also be usefull if file name filters also accepted in FileSystemContributor.browseFileSystem() of default FileSystemConfiguration.

Totally there should be accepting option for :
1. File/Folder
2. Single/Multiple
3. Browse dialog title
4. File name filters
5. Initial selection

Then only it will fulfill the purpose of providing FileSystemContributor for extending. 

Thanks.

Also In FileSystemSupportRegistry, there should be a method to get the FileSystemConfiguration for a URI or URI scheme,  for easy access of available FileSystemConfiguration for an URI or URI scheme.

Thanks.

And also there is need to method to get the URI for a local path that corresponds to any FileSystemConfiguration. for example: if i pass the '/home/me/path' method to a RSE FileSystemConfiguration, it should return URI as 'rse://10.0.0.1/home/me/path'. Likewise to default abstract FileSystemConfiguration.

Thanks.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
