AFAICT the FileChooserButton is a replacement for using an entry/label 
and associated file browser button. It only allows selecting one 
existing file or folder and displays the name of the selected file in 
the button label. You would likely use the FCB in a dialog where a file 
or folder is to be selected (along with other info) and finally another 
action (e.g. clicking an OK button) is used to retrieve the currently 
selected file or folder and perform some operations. I don't think it 
works very well if you want to perform some actions immediately after 
selecting a file or folder.
