[Rd] Choose.files to give shortnames

[P Ehlers]

Would

basename(choose.files())

work for your usage?
Still, a full.names argument might be useful.

One minor issue is that choose.files returns the complete path of the filename (eg "C:/QCdata/Test1/File01", "C:/QCdata/Test1/File02"...). Is it possible to use choose.files to return just the file name eg("File01", "File02"...), in a way similar to the full.names=FALSE argument in the dir function.
