I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard (I know I'm late to the party) and I'm using Satimage OSAX v3.6.0 (build 374), but I am getting an error of "Not implemented in 64bit mode." when using the navchoose object command. For example: set theResult to navchoose object with prompt "hello" multiple files true

The Satimage website has a "64" icon next to it on their download page: http://www.satimage.fr/software/en/downloads/downloads_companion_osaxen.html

There are two ways of showing file dialogs: the old Carbon method, using code called Navigation Services, and the newer Cocoa way, using open and save panels. The name "navchoose" suggests Satimage is using the Carbon dialogs. Navigation Services dialogs have not been supported in 64-bit mode since OS X 10.5.
So whether you call it a bug in Satimage is a matter of perspective. They could change the underlying code and leave the name the same, I suppose, but most of the nav<whatever> commands look a bit redundant these days anyway.
