Change Folder.selectDialog with File.openDialog

This will open a dialog box that will allow you to choose a file. However, I don't see a need for it as your code seems to be doing the right thing. It opens a dialog to select a folder and within that folder it tries to find a file with the name of the linked image and if found it relinks to the found image.

		    if (internal_link[k].status == LinkStatus.LINK_MISSING){
			    var folderPath = (File.openDialog(internal_link[k].filePath));
			    var imglist = Folder(folderPath).getFiles(internal_link[k].name+".*");
			    if (imglist.length == 1){
				internal_link[k].relink(imglist[0]);
			    }

As I said why do you want to select a file when what your code expects is indeed a folder to scan it. Secondly what happened when you used the openDialog menthod as you said. Did it work did it not?
