Open Dialog Box → Open Existing Documents issue

I'm using Scribus 1.6.2 on MacOS.

When I got Open Existing Documents, I see a column on the left with folders/directories in it that are shortcuts to sections of the filesystem. And I can drag additional folders in there. But those folders don't stick. They disappear as soon as I close the open dialog box. Is this a bug, or as designed?

If there is some workaround that will let me add a few directories in there by editing a config file, it would make my life a lot easier.

Works here for me, but using the .1 version. Might be a mac only issue. Hopefully we will hear from others about this.

I'll try it on Windows and see if it works.

yes, tis is a mac-only-problem.
if i remember right, there was a bug report a couple of years ago. (but no solution so far...)

I wonder if it's possible to use the MacOS native file picker if you use File→Open. I know when you export to PDF, it uses the native file picker.
