Hi,

is it possible to change the behaviour of PD to use the system file manager (Dolphin [https://pasteboard.co/3M8II8KNYusE.png https://pasteboard.co/3M8II8KNYusE.png] or Nautilus [https://pasteboard.co/I4iBUqqcBAXH.png https://pasteboard.co/I4iBUqqcBAXH.png]) when opening / saving patches and other files instead of the painfull tk (https://pasteboard.co/0YVTUU6uUV44.png https://pasteboard.co/0YVTUU6uUV44.png) one?

Have recently switched from mac and this specific PD idiosyncrasy is taking me much more time to patch.

In case it's useful helpful... This small plugin more-than 10 years old GUI plugin which I made and uses Zenity, still works (I still use it on Manjaro KDE - and even then it's much better than the default Tk dialog

• as it's always been sitting in my pd externals default directory):

Note that this will only strictly work with Pd (patches) open/save and e.g. *not* with [openpanel] or [savepanel]
