I couldn't use the fiel open dialog on Electron 6.0.0-beta.3. Because beta.3 has this issue . It was fixed the issue by Electron 6.0.0-beta.4.

This was fixed in #18383 and will be released in the next 6.0.0 beta release 👍

@MarshallOfSound I've checked Release Notes for v6.0.0-beta.4. The release is including #18383 . But it didn't fix this issue. My sample for reproducing already use the version. https://github.com/agata/can-not-select-file/blob/master/package.json#L21

Could you please check again.

@MarshallOfSound

Please reopen this issue. I checked #18383 . #18383 is for saveDialog. This issue is for openDialog. This issue didn't fix yet. Probably we should fix below line for openDialog the same way.

electron/atom/browser/ui/file_dialog_win.cc

Line 100 in cde02fd

base::BindOnce(&OnDialogOpened, std::move(promise), result, paths));

to

base::BindOnce(&OnDialogOpened, std::move(promise), !result, paths));
