hi

this mighht be a java only related problem,
on my windows xp, with java build 1.6.0_21-b07 installed
i had sw3d 2.5 running without a glitch, now with sw3d 2.6 it will not open any file related dialog (open or save) and print dialog works.
anyone has an idea as to what might solve the issue ...
