Hey Rustaceans! Got an easy question? Ask here (25/2021)!
For specifically file dialogs, you don't actually need to have an iced component for that. You can have a button with an onclick of something like nfd. Iced at the moment does not support multiple windows though. I'm unsure of menubar stuff.

After getting my base window up, I was smooth sailing! Very nice to use, will definitely be using again for my next project that requires a gui. I ended up using nfd for file selection which worked seamlessly with egui.

On windows, I'll probably use https://github.com/gabdube/native-windows-gui or https://github.com/microsoft/windows-rs both of them seem pretty solid.

The state of gui libraries in rust?
If you only need to support Windows desktop, then let me shill my crate: native-windows-gui. It's super lightweight and it wraps pretty much all the gui stuff provided by win32. Just note that isn't really customizable look-wise.
