Return several selected files with RequestFile?

Is there a trick of allowing to select and return several selected files with RequestFile, or is it simply not supported?

Edit: It is for a map editor, where the user wants to pick several texture images at once.

Hello,

I found this thread which would suggest out of the box the function doesn't or didn't support multiple files.

There seems to be a solution or at least some pointers to a solution in the thread too.

Thanks Andrew, I guess I have to work around it somehow.

Thanks jsp, but I am on OSX.

Perhaps a work around would be to monitor EVENT_WINDOWACCEPT and allow the user to drag and drop multiple files into your application rather than a requester? Just an idea.
