Subject: In Shoes, whye does ask_open_file run a shoes app?

If I have a bit of code inside Shoes.app block, like this

keypress do |k|
  case k
  # ...
  when :alt_o
    @contents = File.read(ask_open_file)
  end
end

it runs the file (if it is a shoes app). Otherwise, it seems to do
nothing and returns nil.

If you run it outside of the Shoes.app block, pas in the manual
example] it works ok.

Does Shoes.app set the context for ask_open_file to be able to run new
apps? How can I change this?


Thanks,
Ed
