I agree with your suggestion in general, but not in my particular case. You see, it's not like I am writing an application, and I happen to need a file browser for that application (let's say to select a file to open). In this case the file browser IS the application. I want it to be open all the time, showing an expendable representation of a particular branch in filesystem, and to display the full path of the currently selected file/directory.
I agree, this is particularly useless, but hey, if I wait until I have a good idea to start playing around, I'll never learn anything.

At the risk of stating the obvious, wouldn't the "right tool" here be NSOpenPanel or a customised derivative of it? Writing your own file browser seems like doing it the hard way to me ;-)
