Testing for this issue included:

-Verifying that the Choose Local Data provider feature is now using the native file chooser.
-Verifying that the file chooser defaults to the user's home folder.
-Verifying that the file chooser remembers the last used directory, even between sessions.
-Verifying that the file chooser remembers the last used filename, even between sessions.
-Verifying that no file chooser functionality has been adversely affected by this change (files are opening/saving properly, etc.)

While testing (on Windows), I noticed that the native file chooser now being used for choosing a local data provider does not allow a folder to be selected, only files can be opened. When I click "Open" on a Quickload folder or double-click it in the file chooser, instead, the file chooser goes deeper into the folder. I compared this to the non-native file chooser and it does allow a folder to be opened; the "Open" button opens the folder, but you can go deeper into the folder by double-clicking it. Since opening folders with the file chooser is critical to adding a local data provider, I am reassigning this issue to David and moving it back into the To-Do column.

Is this still an issue?

Testing on Mac 11.6.4 on IGB 9.1.8 the issue does not appear to be present.

Please test on Linux/Windows and if the issue is not present then close the ticket.

While testing IGBF-3108 for Windows, the instructions provided in this comment was followed in which two local folders need to be created and added as data sources and the native file chooser allows the folder path to be added.

This is no longer an issue in Windows. Linux testing yet to be done.

The File Chooser is native and I am able to select a Quickload folder when adding a new data source.
