Explanation The above sample code is based on How to set up menu and radio menu - Part 4 - allow Alt F Alt N?.
What's new here:
- Added this line so that the script will call the function
_Open() when user selects File Open.
- The third parameter is GtkFileChooserAction. Since we are opening a file here, we choose
Gtk::FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_OPEN.
- Retrieve the selected file.

I have a little add on If you want to select multiple file after note 2 add this
$dialog->set_select_multiple(TRUE);
Kind regards

Hi Wim, Thanks for pointing this out about the multiple file selection. Thought this will be useful to others too. So I've created a full sample code for this: How to open multiple files with GtkFileChooser?
