UE 4.8 uses GTK and Qt file open dialogs and can switch between them. Try different backends by setting LND_BACKEND environment variable to either gtk3, gtk2, qt5, qt4 (the backend in use is printed out to the console at the very start).
Hello,
When I try to browse a network share using the file browser (Open Project or Import File), UE4 completely freezes. Browsing local paths seem to work, but as soon as a mount point has a networked link, it freezes.
Example:
/hd/home/UE4/Projects (OK, all the way (/hd) (/hd/home) (/hd/home/UE4) etc.)
/hd/net/shared/UE4/PROJECTS/PROJECT_001 (Freezes as soon as any path is clicked)
Also (maybe it’s related), the file browser cannot see symbolic links to directories (local or networked), so trying to bypass this issue by creating a symlink to jump into another (networked) file system does not work.
I can provide more info if needed.
One workaround I think would work (and it already works in project browser):
- Passing a full path in the Directory textbox. (But there is no such textbox in file browser… could it be added?)
Yep, that did it! 
Thank you very much.
