Hi,
Does this tag use memory that needs to be freed somewhere sometime? Or is this handled internally by the gadget?

GETFILE_FullFile memory use
GETFILE_FullFile memory use
Without much info on it I would say it should free the memory itself. Unless you changed the pointer.
But take a look at GFILE_FREELIST. It seems a little complicated but you need to set up a messy looking gfileFreeList first. Before you can use the class. So in the end the onus is on you to free this list.
@OldFart
No, the returned buffer is internal to the gadget and should not be freed by the application (the same goes for GETFILE_File and GETFILE_Drawer).

You can also just use IDoMethod() (the varargs version of IDoMethodA()) like so:
IIntuition->IDoMethod(getfile, GFILE_FREELIST, filelist);
