Open Dialog Box → Open Existing Documents issue

[apastuszak]

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.

1.6.1 on fedora 40, installed from the fedora repos
seemed to work just fine

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.
