@BetterRed:
  1. What's your OS and your Sigil version?
  2. Do you use the portable version or the official release?
  3. Do you get the System 32 folder also with the open file dialog of other apps, e.g. Word?
  4. Is there anything special about the multimedia files (large size, unusual codec etc.)?
  1. What's your OS and your Sigil version?
    Win 10 64bit 1511 up-to-date as of Now
  2. Do you use the portable version or the official release?
    No I have this installed - 48.7 MB Sigil-0.9.5-Windows-x64-Setup.exe
  3. Do you get the System 32 folder also with the open file dialog of other apps, e.g. Word?
    No nothing else takes me to System 32, not even my fingers - Office programs Open File takes me to the relocated %userprofile%\Documents - D:\Documents - but I rarely use Open File in anything, either I start at the data and use Open With or I start the program and use File New, most of them give me a blank file, which I save ASAP with the name I want and where I want it.
  4. Is there anything special about the multimedia files (large size, unusual codec etc.)?
    Not as far as I know, They all play in the various viewers/editors I have. No DRM protection, they're either public domain or given privately by the originators. They're things like talking heads and radio podcasts from MSM sources, press conferences from party sources, and think tank tank briefings. Dry as dust.
    What do you call large - I doubt anything I tried was beyond 1GB, the MP3 was < 4MB, the AVI was about 600MB - I didn't set out to stress test it
But don't fixate on that they were media files. Sigil crashes as soon as I right click on any file in any Book Browser folder's Add Existing file Open File dialogue - including an HTML file in the Text folder. Not when I select something from the context menu, but as soon as I right click (or hit the menu key) on a file. Try it on the HTML in the Attached Zip.

I must say I am a bit surprised I am the first to discover this, it seems so fundamental. See a list of files, right click - is the menu what you'd expect to see?
