URL node
Please please please make the URL node path property bring up a file dialog instead of the text editor.

Re: URL node
Good point, but I guess it's probably difficult to decide if the user wants to enter an URL manually or if she wants to select a local file from a file dialog. Sometimes I also have a string variable connected to the URL node and want to select the file in the text property of the string variable.

Therefore my alternate suggestion: Add a button in the text editor (or add a context menu option) that opens a file selector, let's the user select a file and then pastes the full file path into the text editor. If you allow multiple files to be selected at once, this would also be a nice way to collect file names/paths into a text list.
