All file opening/loading/saving/exporting in IGB should be handled by the native or JavaFX file chooser rather than the non-native file chooser.

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

General Function Checklist

• 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.

• • 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.
