Use Native OS File Dialog #643

Open werdnahull opened 10 months ago

werdnahull commented 10 months ago

Feature/enhancement description: Godot's built-in file open/save dialogs are not great. It would be nice to use the native OS dialogs for open, save, and export, which would greatly increase workflow. Something like https://github.com/98teg/NativeDialogs would likely work.

Godot 4.2 and later has built-in support for native file dialogs as part of the FileDialog node – no need for an extension. Material Maker is being ported to Godot 4, so it'll surely be using 4.2 or later.

If you implement this, please make this optional. Most native dialog implementation I saw insists on using gtk3 on linux, but gtk3's file selector is so utter crap that literally anything is better than that (even if it's just a simple text box where you can enter a file path, that already has a feature gtk3's file selector doesn't have). (And I really hope godot does load the toolkit library dynamically, I don't want to install gtk3)

+1 to this - The current file dialog works if your computer has a single hard drive, but if you have resources stored across drives or on network shares, it's downright awful.
