##
## Open a GUI dialog for selecting a file and return the filename @var{fname},
## the path to this file @var{fpath}, and the filter index @var{fltidx}.
##
## @var{flt} contains a (list of) file filter string(s) in one of the following
## formats:
##
## @table @asis
## @item @qcode{"/path/to/filename.ext"}
## If a filename is given then the file extension is extracted and used as
## filter.  In addition, the path is selected as current path in the dialog and
## the filename is selected as default file.
## Example: @code{uigetfile ("myfcn.m")}
##
## @item A single file extension @qcode{"*.ext"}
## Example: @code{uigetfile ("*.ext")}
##
## @item A 2-column cell array
## containing a file extension in the first column and a brief description in
## the second column.  Example:
## @code{uigetfile (@{"*.ext", "My Description";"*.xyz", "XYZ-Format"@})}
##
## The filter string can also contain a semicolon separated list of filter
## extensions.  Example:
## @code{uigetfile (@{"*.gif;*.png;*.jpg", "Supported Picture Formats"@})}
##
## @item A directory name or path name
## If the folder name of path name contains a trailing file separator, the
## contents of that folder will be displayed.  If no trailing file separator
## is present the parent directory is listed.  The substring to the right of
## the rightmost file separator (if any) will be interpreted as a file or
## directory name and if that file or directory exists it will be highlighted.
## If the path name or directory name is entirely or partly nonexistent, the
## current working directory will be displayed.
## No filter will be active.
## @end table
##
## @var{dialog_name} can be used to customize the dialog title.
##
## If @var{default_file} is given then it will be selected in the GUI dialog.
## If, in addition, a path is given it is also used as current path.
##
## Two or more files can be selected when setting the @qcode{"MultiSelect"} key
## to @qcode{"on"}.  In that case, @var{fname} is a cell array containing the
## files.
##
## The outputs @var{fname} and @var{fpath} are strings returning the chosen
## name and path, respectively.  However, if the @samp{Cancel} button is
## clicked the outputs are of type double with a value of @code{0}.
## @var{fltidx} is the index in the list of filter extensions @var{flt} that
## was selected.
