Thanks, but I dont think theres a way around this, The only solution I can think of is that if the root directory is detected as the choosen directory, to then show a select dialog with two choices.
I only need this for 2, maybe 3 different operations, all based around creating files, rather than deleting. When editing a file the root dir isnt chosen, so again, only needed for creating. 
Thanks for you response and help.

Just in case, anyone else stumbles upon this, the only thing I could think was this, itll do for now.

python:


def createInRootOrCancel(self, action):

    option = dialog.select('Choose Option', ['Create {} In Root Directory'.format(action), 'Cancel Operation'])

    return True if option is 0 else False



#=====================#



def createNewFile(self):

    self.dir_path = dialog.browse(0, 'Select Location', '', 'files', False, False, home_path)

   

    if self.dir_path == home_path:

        if not self.createInRootOrCancel('File'): return



    kb = xbmc.Keyboard('', 'Enter New File Name And Extension')

    kb.doModal()
