File open dialog now only lets you open folders but not files

The file open dialog now only displays folders and not video files.

Furthermore I still would love to be able to choose the name of the created output file easily.

hi. can you provide some more info? which version? operating system? screenshot?

[fumakotaro]

Oh sorry I thought it was an obvious oversight. I am on Windows 10 and downloaded LosslessCut-win-x64.7z.

There are tons of .mp4 files in that folder.

[mifi]

so it works with the previous version?

[fumakotaro]

Yep:

ok, seems to be a problem on Windows only. need to research a bit more

I just found https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/dialog

Note: On Windows and Linux an open dialog can not be both a file selector and a directory selector, so if you set properties to ['openFile', 'openDirectory'] on these platforms, a directory selector will be shown.

The bug was introduced here: bc04a4f

Thank you for investigating and finding a fix (I saw your commit)!

As pointed out on the Electron's page you quoted, I can confirm it also affects Linux
