This sounds like a job for the "giving up" parameter as found in
display dialog and other UI commands.
choose file x giving up after 20 seconds
The result would indicate either a file chosen by the user, an error
(cancel) or gave up, and the script could handle each of those
eventualities.
I agree, that could be useful.
ES
I did file it (Bug ID# 6445230) and no, I don't know of any
application that automatically dismisses file/folder dialogs, of
course Applescript isn't exactly a normal application. I'm not
asking for a change to the current behavior of these dialogs, far
from it, I'm asking for extended functionality by adding optional
parameters. As for file/folder dialogs, abort the script or open a
default file/folder if no choice is made within the specified time.
It certainly wouldn't hurt to have the ability.
