No. When you select "File - Open" in any Windows app, the thing that
pops up and allows you to select which file you wish to open is called
a "chooser". If what you're choosing is a file, it's called a "file
chooser".


That's the first time I've heard the Windows Open dialog called a
"chooser". Isn't that a Mac term?


I doubt it. I'm no great fan of Macs, either, although I have one. AFAIK,
it's a generic UI term.


I really don't think so.
