    <p>
	Use the <cmd>--file-selection</cmd> option to create a file selection dialog. <app>Zenity</app> returns the selected files or directories to standard

      </item>

      <item>
	<title><cmd>--multiple</cmd></title>
	<p>Allows the selection of multiple filenames in the file selection dialog.</p>
      </item>

      </item>

      <item>
	<title><cmd>--save</cmd></title>

      </item>

      <item>
