    Description

      If I will create a FileDialog and set its currentFolder property, the dialog will navigate to it just on the first open. If I change that property between subsequent reopens the changes to this property are ignored on Mac (works fine on Windows). I am pretty sure it is not a new issue and I have seen that in the Qt 5.x series.

      Quick temporary workaround is to patch the QQuickFileDialog as below, but I suspect it should be fixed in the Cocoa platform file dialog helper.

      void QQuickFileDialog::setCurrentFolder(const QUrl &currentFolder)
{
  qCDebug(lcFileDialog) << "setCurrentFolder called with" << currentFolder;
  if (QPlatformFileDialogHelper *fileDialog = qobject_cast<QPlatformFileDialogHelper *>(handle())) {
#if !defined(Q_OS_MACOS)
    fileDialog->setDirectory(currentFolder);
#else
    if (isVisible()) {
      fileDialog->setDirectory(currentFolder);
    }
    else {
      // Recreate the native dialog to ensure that the new current folder is applied
      // as its changes seem to be ignored on subsequent reopens by Cocoa/QPlatform
      destroy();
    }
#endif
  }
  m_options->setInitialDirectory(currentFolder);
}
