## Open a GUI dialog for selecting a file.  @var{flt} contains a (list of) file
## filter string(s) in one of the following formats:
##
## @table @asis
## @item @qcode{"/path/to/filename.ext"}
## If a filename is given the file extension is extracted and used as filter.
## In addition the path is selected as current path and the filename is
## selected as default file.  Example: @code{uiputfile ("myfun.m")}
##
## @item @qcode{"*.ext"}
## A single file extension.
## Example: @code{uiputfile ("*.ext")}
##
## @item @code{@{"*.ext", "My Description"@}}
## A 2-column cell array containing the file extension in the 1st column and
## a brief description in the 2nd column.
## Example: @code{uiputfile (@{"*.ext","My Description";"*.xyz",
## "XYZ-Format"@})}
## @end table
##
## The filter string can also contain a semicolon separated list of filter
## extensions.
## Example: @code{uiputfile (@{"*.gif;*.png;*.jpg",
## "Supported Picture Formats"@})}
##
## @var{dialog_name} can be used to customize the dialog title.
## If @var{default_file} is given it is preselected in the GUI dialog.
## If, in addition, a path is given it is also used as current path.
