I'm not sure what you mean by "would not allow". There are two ways you
can select a file in GC. (There may be more, but I know of two.)

* Open GC without a command-line argument. In this case GC will
automatically open the last file you were working with. If that's not
the one you want, you can simply click File » Open and open the one you
want.

* Open GC with the path and name of the desired file on the command
line. You may find it helpful to create a set of shortcuts or aliases to
pen the files you work with frequently -- IMHO that is a lot easier than
using the file picker built into GC.
