Dim f As New FolderItem
Dim g As New FolderItem
f = GetOpenFolderItem("video/mp4") // added using the File Types Editor
If f.MacFSRef <> Nil Then
g = f.CreateFromMacFSRef(f.MacFSRef)
MsgBox(g.NativePath)
Else
MsgBox("The MacFSRef was not created.")
End If
Dim g As New FolderItem
f = GetOpenFolderItem("video/mp4") // added using the File Types Editor
If f.MacFSRef <> Nil Then

MsgBox(g.NativePath)
