This JavaFX is giving us much trouble and headache. It was just added because the Swing file chooser is not native and looks very ugly IMO. But it seems like the old AWT FileDialog is native and at least at the moment still works (this needs to be verified for Linux and Win 10 / 11). I'll create a PR for that + a build maybe you can test if that works with Win 11?

@cleydyr please check out the new version here which possibly works again with Win 11

[cleydyr]

With JRE 8, yes. But not with JRE 18.

[mbaeuerle]

So what's the error for JRE 18?

[cleydyr]

There's no error. But never mind.

Checking it further, I saw that the window's position was outside the screen, so that I couldn't see it. So no bug here, but ensuring the window appears on (0,0) to override any fancy JVM's defaults would be interesting.

Interesting, I also observed on Windows 10 that the Briss window was opened on the bottom right. I thought it should be centered. Would be also nice to store the previous position and size as user config somewhere (and while we're at it also the previously chosen file paths).

Opened https://github.com/mbaeuerle/Briss-2.0/issues/70 to track your suggestion.

Found the root cause. See https://github.com/mbaeuerle/Briss-2.0/issues/72
