[Openmcl-devel] Modal dialog problems with CCL 1.9 32/64 on Mountain Lion

I have had it for some time (several months) on lion. But I thought it was my fault not understanding retain / release in objective c. I would be very happy to have the 'right' version of choose-file-dialog (I understood that you made a version that is more 'stable'?).

This pattern is reliable and repeatable - if I call the loop again, the first time through the empty directories issue is present again; on subsequent iterations the directory is populated.

The gui:execute-in-gui version will not show quick-look previews in column view in either the 32-bit or 64-bit IDE - the field where the preview should be shows the spinning (non)progress indicator instead of the file's quick-look preview. This is true on all iterations, not just the first when the directory is not populated. The gui:execute-in-gui version *does* show previews in Cover Flow view, just not in Column view. The other (#/performSelectorOnMainThread) version reliably shows quick-look previews in both Column view and Cover Flow view in both the 32 and 64 bit IDEs.
