/*!
    Subclass of <a href="http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qfiledialog.html">QFileDialog</a> which re-implements the static public functions. The reason for this
    is that the <a href="http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qfiledialog.html">QFileDialog</a> implementations of these use the native os dialogs. On OSX these
    these can intermittently hang. So instead here we use the native dialogs. It also allows
    use to catch these dialogs for unit testing.
    @remark If you need to know what type of file was returned by these functions, you can use something like:
    @code{.cpp}
    QString filename = QGCFileDialog::getSaveFileName(this, tr("Save File"), "~/", "Foo files (*.foo);;All Files (*.*)", "foo");
    if (!filename.isEmpty()) {
        QFileInfo fi(filename);
        QString fileExtension(fi.suffix());
        if (fileExtension == QString("foo")) {
            // do something
        }
    }
    @endcode

      the returned filename will be \e foo.bar. However, if the user specifies a suffix, none will be added. That is, if the user enters \e foo.txt, that's what you will receive in return.
