What is the option to display the tk_getOpenFile dialog at location

I didn't know about that! Which platform?

But in Tcl/Tk8.5.0, giving -x and -y options throws the error that it
is not a valid option. Is there a way to give the position one wants
to display the dialog at?

Officially, we only support "associating" the dialogs with another
widget (via the -parent option), and not fine positioning.

Donal.

Both Windows and all UNIX platforms. This worked in tcl/tk8.4.13.
In tcl/tk8.5.0, the dialog always comes up on the left screen corner.
