New Project Dialog Directory Browser can't navigate outside $HOME

Hi,
great that it is not me and that I am not alone :slight_smile:
And a slight addition to your post:
The Directory Browser window works as expected (no restrictions on navigation, / and .. being available etc.) as soon as your setwd() is /anywhere/ outside of $HOME.

So the feature request would be to drop the navigation restrictions (intended to be simplifications so users don't get lost in the filesysten ?!) regardless in what directory you are.

Yours,
Steffen

I find this a tad annoying myself. As best I can tell, there is no direct way to get out of the directory tree rooted at $HOME. The following is a somewhat clunky workaround. In the console window, execute setwd("/opt") or setwd("/opt/src"), then in the viewer window click the "More" menu and select "Go to working directory". I'm not sure that's any better than the symlink approach.
