A modified version of :ref:`FileDialog<class_FileDialog>` used by the editor.

.. rst-class:: classref-introduction-group

Description
-----------

**EditorFileDialog** is a :ref:`FileDialog<class_FileDialog>` tweaked to work in the editor. It automatically handles favorite and recent directory lists, and synchronizes some properties with their corresponding editor settings.

\ **EditorFileDialog** will automatically show a native dialog based on the :ref:`EditorSettings.interface/editor/use_native_file_dialogs<class_EditorSettings_property_interface/editor/use_native_file_dialogs>` editor setting and ignores :ref:`FileDialog.use_native_dialog<class_FileDialog_property_use_native_dialog>`.

\ **Note:** **EditorFileDialog** is invisible by default. To make it visible, call one of the ``popup_*`` methods from :ref:`Window<class_Window>` on the node, such as :ref:`Window.popup_centered_clamped()<class_Window_method_popup_centered_clamped>`.
