Description

The Issue

On the first usage, the "Choose File" button in the "Publish" section opens in LBRY install directory. It could be confusing for new users. It could maybe open in "My documents" or "My computer". It remembers the last directory after the first time.

System Configuration

  • LBRY Daemon version: 0.20.4
  • LBRY App version: 0.23.0-rc.3
  • LBRY Installation ID: 7tYN144rHXrspzJG9xLP28fi1JztXnbpKro6DBJEQyzBmXTyDgqRLfYsUvHYFVmMe2
  • Operating system: Win 10
