Opening file/folder using Windows file dialog in VsCode

Question

When I try to open file or folder in VsCode, Windows file dialog doesn't open. Instead, a box appears in the top-middle of VsCode to open file/folder.

How can I use Windows file dialog again?

Answer 1

Windows file dialog is default to open file/folder. But somehow I changed it to simple one. If you want to use "Simple Dialog" you should add the following lines to settings.json :

"files.simpleDialog.enable": true

To get back Windows file dialog, remove that line or change true to false .
