RE: Directory picker control

Micah,

Yes, it works fine as a 'directory browser', however you don't need to use
xf:filename -- if all you want is the filename (and not the actual data)
then just ensure that the node you bind to with @ref is of type xsd:anyURI
rather than xsd:*Binary:

  When bound to an instance data node of type xsd:anyURI (or a type derived
  by restriction thereof), on activation upload places a URI in the content
  of the node. [1]

All the best,

Mark
