Depending on the SPRING function you are using, you will have one of
these options:
Directory Selection

look for files or even to inform where "something" will be created,
for instance a database. From several different windows, the user will have
access to this interface when he clicks on Directory....

confirm the directory selection or Cancel to go back to
the previous window without changing the directory.
