Yeah, it's horrible. It's low priority because it is such a pain to use native file dialogs on OS X, but I'd like to have it. For now you can use Finder find your file, copy the path, and paste it into the crappy Spine file dialog. To copy the path, grab this and then drag the CopyPath shortcut until your Finder toolbar. Then you can select any file in Finder and click CopyPath.

More often I find myself needing to direct to folders with these spine dialogs. (Image folder, export) Now for me on a Mac I have been easily dragging a folder location from a finder window to the spine dialog which in turn navigates to the folder. But because the dialog expects a folder location selection before enabling the confirm button. I then have to use the drop down to navigate one parent up and select the folder.

Might I suggest if no folder is selected in the dialog window, that the current displayed folder be the acceptable folder selection for the dialog to confirm and proceed. Please?

Thanks, Jason

The nasty dialog is out of my control, I can't improve upon it. When we get a real native file dialog it won't be an issue.
