Not really... when I'm fit enough to work on Pipmak, I'm also fit enough
to return to work... (which I will tomorrow) :/

Yes, that's what the state table is for. Let me know if you can think of
a situation where writing and reading files would be better than using
the state table (which is saved to saved game files).

No. I see no reason to replace a full-featured file dialog that looks
and works the way users expect with a home-grown substitute.

Is that a problem?

I have little inclination to work around Windows' deficiencies in this
respect. I assume it should be possible to run the dialog in its own
thread and have the project run along in the background, but I don't
think it's worth the effort.
