This is a good and reliable filebrowser but there is a major bug I have found. It lies inside the code in OnSelChanging and what it does is, if a node is expanded and you click another node then click back on the expaned one it will reprint the files inside it therefore creating two of each... If you continue this it will print 3... 4... etc.
