Hi JP,

I did some changes on the OpenGL settings, instead of set the anti-alising to disable (if it fails) I clear that flag information, so no hint about how application want the AA is given.
I hope that it will make the GPU driver to decide what is best.
(So users can use the GPU driver application sofware to force the quality for the programs)

Let me know if that still works for you.

Reverted.
I am not happy personally with that dialog, it is hard to browse the files, I would prefer if possible that dialogs that are more "os default", with favorites (home), and maybe a address entry bar.
Hope something can be improved in future..

Yes, it fix the issue both on my Windows and on my Linux Kubuntu installs.
On linux, no error message, but a really very strange display of the 3D viewer frame itself, and no
3D canvas displayed.
So, forcing anti-aliasing creates serious issues also on Linux when the graphic card does not
support it.

Could you remove the Maximize option in DLG_SELECT_3DMODEL ctor?
This is not usual for dialogs, and the look is not good when this dlg is maximized.

Thanks.
