Look at the images below to see an example of the native file chooser compared to the non-native file chooser.

General Function Checklist (perform for each of the file choosers listed below)

  • Start by selecting the action that opens the file chooser
    • Verify that this file chooser is the native file chooser.

 

  • Use the file chooser to open/save a file and take note of the directory you are opening from/saving into and the filename you used.
Directory used?FileName used?
  
    • Verify that the file has opened/saved properly. (Check data, saved location, name, etc.)

  • Use the same file chooser as in the last step to save a file with the same name, in the same directory.
    • Verify that a pop-up appears asking you to confirm if you would like to replace the file.

 

  • Reopen the file chooser.
    • Verify that the file chooser remembered the last used directory and filename.

 

  • Reset IGB Preferences to Default, restart IGB, and reopen the file chooser.
    • Verify that the file chooser defaults to the user's home folder.
    • There also may be a default filename, depending on the action being performed.
