Zen,You can get a file chooser with the text control widget. The incantation is in the online doc as
Editable + keypad + file + pv type = string: edit with file select boxWith these options you also set "default dir" and "pattern" to something like "./" and "*.txt" respectively.
You also choose the form of the returned string which may be "full path", "name & ext", or "name only".

I have written a soft IOC which reads data from a disk file and places values read into EPICS records. A few EDM screens are used to display the data... All of this works fine. There a number of disk files to choose from. I have implemented a simple way to specify the file name using a waveform record and a text control. This scheme is very difficult to use. I think that EDM does not provide a file name chooser dialog. Is that true? If so, has anyone implemented some EDM widget which could be used to choose a file name from existing files on a disk drive? Thanks in advance, Zen
