Note that I was suggesting that engima should just fire up the
*regular file manager* for the appropriate folder.
A non-standard file selector certainly won't be easier for them to use.
I'm not suggesting to open a command line console there. I just
suggest to allow them to user their OS software (they're used to) for
this, instead of duplicating the same functionality in a likely
inferior way.

Well, it won't allow them to delete or add any files, and probably not
store or submit scores.
