[Scilab-users] Native file and directory chooser under macOS

[Stéphane Mottelet]

Hi,

I think that macOS have been bothered by the Swing file/directory 
chooser since Java is used in Scilab. Under Windows or Linux these 
widgets are native (or almost native) and allow to simply select a disk, 
go to home directory, ... I have been working on this problem and found 
a solution which took some time to be applied to every places where it 
may be applicable (Scinotes, Xcos, graphical export, ...). You can 
experiment this new feature by downloading the new build, available at 
the usual macOS Scilab page:

Enjoy !
