+/**
+ * The goal of this class is to make sure that, when the user needs to
+ * specify a file via the file selection dialog, this dialog will start
+ * in the directory most likely to contain the desired files.
+ *
+ * This works as follows: Each time the file selection dialog is
+ * shown, the programmer can specify a "file-class". The file-dialog will
+ * then start with the directory associated with this file-class. When
+ * the dialog closes, the directory currently shown in the file-dialog
+ * will be associated with the file-class.
+ *
+ * A file-class can either start with ':' or with '::'. If it starts with
+ * a single ':' the file-class is specific to the current application.
+ * If the file-class starts with '::' it is global to all applications.
