    Description

      selectedFile is currently read-only, and after https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtdeclarative/+/381801, it's no longer possible to set currentFile to pre-select a file. For example, in 6.2.3 you could do this:

      import QtQuick
import QtQuick.Controls
import QtQuick.Dialogs

ApplicationWindow {
    width: 600
    height: 600
    visible: true

    FileDialog {
        visible: true
        fileMode: FileDialog.SaveFile
        currentFile: "file:///Users/foo/existing-file.txt"
    }
}

      One option is to make selectedFile writable. Another is to add an initialFile property.
