[Scilab-Dev] SEP#8 for function uigetfile

[Sylvestre Koumar]

Well,the file chooser dialog is in Java for xgetfile but not for 
tk_getfile. uigetfile() file chooser dialog will be in Java.

The existing functions will not be connected to uigetfile(), because 
those existing functions will become obsolete.

tk_getdir() will be replaced by uigetdir() and become obsolete.

Kind regards,
Sylvestre Koumar
