Permanent File selection window

I'm hoping to create a permanent window on the front panel that displays a specific filetype (i.e. *.txt) within a selected folder, and clicking on a file within the panel will automatically load it. Is this doable?

I was thinking it could have a "set folder" button to set the folder location, and a scrollbar for navigating the list of files.

Here's what I have so far, notice I have no idea how to set the index on the GetAt module so that mouse clicking in a displayed window will select the right file(need serious help with my GUI skills). The Load(text file) is just opening the first file at this point, and it won't set the directory without clicking open, which is a bit clunky - if only the file dialog could be folder based and not just file based (i.e choose a folder).

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
