why do options not affect showOpenDialog?

Question

This is the script for my renderer page:

 const { dialog } = require('electron').remote; function openJsonFile() { dialog.showOpenDialog( { title: 'Open JSON file', properties: ['openFile'], filters: [{name: 'JSON', extensions: 'json'}] }, function (filename) { .... .... .... }) }; 

But the options don't affect showOpenDialog at all. It's the same as with default options. Why is that and how to fix that?

PS I'm using mac

Answer 1

showOpenDialog function takes two parameters. First is browserWindow(optional) and 2nd is options . You are passing options as 1st parameter.

Here is the detailed explanation of this.
