The dialog is ok on Linux but on Windows, it's quite terrible. It has
none of the favourites you expect it to have, and instead has lots of
custom ones; plus it looks and behaves completely different from the
rest of the OS. Let's not use it on Windows.

On Linux I agree that it's far better than the other available options
(esp. the default Qt dialog, but also the GTK3 one is quite annoying).
