Without wishing to harp on about a small third party utility too much, this one's rather popular. Dr Jukka's Y-Browser is now at v0.89(2) and the author has managed to significantly improve the support for touch, including proper 'multi-selection' in dialogs. You can grab version 0.89(2) at the venerable Dr Jukka's web site, along with all the optional companion plug-ins. 

Eagle-eyed users might like to chuckle at the 'hello world' banner that was (presumably) left in by accident - this flashes up in the title bar while Y-Browser is starting!!.... 8-)
