External Programs - File menu does not show all files/all applications

[MartinMajewski]

Godot version

v4.0.1.rc1.mono.official [d23922ffe]

System information

macOS 13.2.1 (22D68) on MacBook Pro 16 - 2021 - with M1 Max, 64GB

Issue description

When opening Editor -> Editor Settings... at FileSystem -> External Programs, I cannot assign an external application for any of the four options. The Open a File menu does only show a hand full of .app files. Applications like, e.g., Affinity Designer or Affinity Photo are not on the list.

The filter option is set to All Files (*), but still unsuccessful.

I've encountered this issue on Godot 4.0 stable, firstly, and it still seems to persist in the 4.0.1 RC1.

Edit: The Show hidden files option does not change anything.

Steps to reproduce

As mentioned in the issue description.

Minimal reproduction project

any project should work

This may be due to macOS sandbox limitations.

Godot file dialog shows real file as is (so it will show file names not bundle display name, system apps will be in the /System/Applications, etc.), Finder merge all applications into a single list. For the same behavior, we'll need to use a native file dialog (https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/47499). Also, most macOS's apps are usually installed in the /Applications not int the /Users/*/Applications.

As a workaround, to get the real file location you can right-click on the required app in the Finder, select Get Info, right-click on the Where: select Copy as Pathname and paste it into Godot file dialog.
