This depends on the version of Tk you have installed. The Tk 8.5.7

tk_getOpenFile -multiple 1 which fails on all unix platforms since
the adoption of ttk widgets.
for just after 8.5.4.
So I suggest you update your OS's Tcl/Tk if it is older than that
(and that fix is 14 months old, so one would hope that your OS has
updates available).
R for Windows ships with 8.5.6, R for Mac OS X with 8.5.5.

Dear all,
I compared tk_choose.files on linux with choose.files or
tk_choose.files on windows and found that tk_choose.files does not
allow multiple selection on linux - independent on keyword setting
"multi".
tk_choose.files(default=paste(path.original,"",sep=""),caption="Select file(s)")
On linux I get the error message:
File <list of selected filenames> does not exist.
I have to click "cancel" to get out of the dialog.
Any ideas?
