Summary0014366: Special directories for file browser on Mac not what is expected
DescriptionThe ParaView file browser (like what you get, for example, when you open a file) has a widget in the upper left with a list of special directories. This list should contain things like the user's home directory and other operating-system specific locations such as the user's desktop, the user's document directory, and mounted file systems.

On the Mac, I used to get several directories including all those listed previously. However, lately I have not getting anything but some mounted drives (see the attached image). At the very least I would expect my home directory. The desktop and documents directories should really be there, too. Ideally, it would list everything identified as "favorites" and "devices" in the Mac finder.
TagsNo tags attached.

commit 54c3427619abbe0cc13b3bf319e2b21947a55133
Author: Cory Quammen <cory.quammen@kitware.com>

    BUG 14366: Restore some Mac special directories
    
    Restore listing of some special directories for Mac OS X in the file
    dialog. These entries disappeared due to some changes in recent
    versions of Mac OS X. This commit restores:
    
    - home directory
    - desktop directory
    - documents directory
    - mounted volumes
    
    Unfortunately, favorite directories are not restored. No current Mac
    OS X API is available to provide these entries.
    
    As a bonus, this commit removes calls to deprecated functions, solving
    bug 15893.
