SIGIL_FORCE_NATIVE_FILE_DIALOG

Setting it to 1 will make it active.
Thanks, @DD. Is it this post or this one? In either case, I don't know where or how to access the Utility.cpp file. As a non-programmer, this is a lotta bit over my head.

EDIT: NEVERMIND! I incorrectly assumed there was more to it.... heaven knows how it worked, but it did. Thanks again, @DD

For the record the files that i was referring to that don't preview are font files (ttf/otf). Even that notwithstanding, the lack of search/filtering functionality would remain an obstacle to using the new UI.
