Hi There.  
I am trying to create a input field in my plugin that allows users to select a folder. When I add  
 the plugin seems to suppress the file selector dialog.  
Any ideas?

Are you using `getFolder()`?

Thank you @Timothy_Bennett  
Yep. That did it. Sorry, a little rusty and didn’t dig deep enough into the docs.
