simple script dialogs

Simply add GUI elements to scripts.

One single tool with several GUI dialogs, e.g. messagebox, file dialog, string input or choice list.

Examples:
scriptdialogs file -folder="/home" -filter="*.txt"
scriptdialogs info -textfile=results.txt -title="Summary"
scriptdialogs yesno -text="Are you sure?"
scriptdialogs okcancel -text="This will delete all data!" -title="Confirmation"
scriptdialogs choice -text="Please select:" -title="Choose" -list="Option 1,Option 2,Option 3" -default="Option 1"

Usage example for a bash script, see more on page :

#!/bin/sh
mkdir -p /tmp/backup/latest                                          
fn=$(scriptdialogs file -title="choose file to back up" -folder="/")   
if [ -f "$fn" ]; then                                               
    cp "$fn" /tmp/backup/latest                                            
    scriptdialogs info -text="$fn"$'\n\nhas been saved to /tmp/backup/latest.'
