Hello, It appears that Sigil now uses it's own file browser dialog boxes for navigating your OS' files. I have some deep folder structures and it's very frustrating having to manually click through folders to get to the image file I want to add or select a new save location.

Is there a way to make Sigil use the computer's built-in file browser UI? Plugin? Pref adjusts?

Normally on Mac, for me, using the system UI equates to being able to drag folders into the save/open dialog box and instantly update the file dialog box to the dragged-in directory. With Sigil's built-in file dialog boxes, it appears manual navigation is the only option for getting to a folder.

I'm on a Mac, using Sigil 1.9.10. Have not seen another post on this or any options within Sigil itself to change this.

Thanks
