Special directories for file browser on Mac not what is expected
This issue was created automatically from an original Mantis Issue. Further discussion may take place here.
The 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.
