Fixes a crash on macOS: with File › Open showing, resizing the window or dragging a file over it aborts the app.

Report and cause

Reported on Discord (DesignCraft 0.13.0, macOS 27.0.1): the app crashes when you resize the window or drag a file over it while the Open window is showing.

DesignCraft showed rfd's blocking FileDialog and MessageDialog from inside the frame. On macOS -[NSSavePanel runModal] runs a nested event loop. A drag from Finder then runs NSCoreDragTrackingProc → runUntilDate, winit's queued event block fires inside the frame, and winit panics with tried to handle event while another event is currently being handled, which aborts the app.

What changed

• Every blocking file and message dialog now goes through craft-dialogs (craft-dialogs: native file and message dialogs that never block the event loop craft-libs#412, merged). A dialog is asked for, shown from the main thread at the end of the frame, and answered a frame or more later. On macOS Open and Folder are a free-standing panel; Save and message boxes are sheets.
• Commands called with an explicit path (control channel, scripts, tests) stay synchronous. Only the "no path, so ask" branch is asynchronous, and it re-runs the same command with the picked path. Open and Place now accept path too.
• The replace-file confirm in Save As is a sheet.
• An answer for a document that has since closed is dropped with a status message.
• Close › Save and Quit › Save wait for the Save As answer; Cancel stops the quit.
• Choosing File › Open again while its panel is up raises that panel instead of opening a second one.
• clippy.toml disallows rfd::FileDialog and rfd::MessageDialog, so a new blocking dialog fails clippy.
• Web: craft-dialogs is native only. Open keeps using open_async and the inbox; other pickers on web report that they need a file picker (before, they did nothing).
• Behaviour change: Library › New Library… now does nothing on Cancel. Before, it ran library.new with a null path.
• Scripts and control-channel commands sent without a path return before the answer arrives (the dialog's answer re-runs the command later).
• On web, Load Profile, Place with Options, Book Open and Library Open show "needs a file picker" instead of doing nothing, and Close/Quit Save goes through the download path.
• Requests from different commands or documents that share a dialog (for example Place and Choose Image) queue separately. An answer that would replace an unrelated open dialog waits until it closes.

Dependency

craft-dialogs is pinned to storytold/craft-libs main at 1a11a489 (storytold/craft-libs#412, merged).

Testing

Owner's Mac test on macOS 15.7.9: dragging a file over the window and holding it with Open showing no longer crashes; Open is a free-standing panel; Save As is a sheet and saves.

New regression test: File › Open with no path, the dialog override answers, the document opens. The converted quit, save-folder, find-scope, PDF export, load-styles, shortcut-import and menu tests pass locally.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Native file dialogs now open asynchronously, with repeated requests brought to the existing dialog instead of creating duplicates.
  • Open dialogs offer filters for relevant file types. Save dialogs suggest a location and add the appropriate file extension when needed.
  • Save, export, import, relinking, and other file actions now use the app’s dialogs. Commands can also use a supplied file path or folder.
• Bug Fixes
  • Canceling or failing a save during Quit or Close keeps the unsaved document open.
  • Browser file actions report when a picker or download is unavailable.

Walkthrough

The app replaces injected file-picker callbacks with shared dialog handling. Native requests use deferred callbacks, while browser workflows use asynchronous open and download services when available. File commands, panels, exports, quit, and document-close flows now use these paths.

Changes: File-dialog workflows

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Shared dialog infrastructure Cargo.toml, apps/designcraft/..., apps/designcraft-web/src/web.rs, clippy.toml, crates/ui-egui/Cargo.toml, crates/ui-egui/src/app.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/app/file_dialogs.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/app/frame.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/lib.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/services.rs, crates/engine/src/tests/file_guard.rs	Adds the craft-dialogs integration, app-managed dialog state, native filters, save-path handling, answer processing, and frame integration. Removes pick_open and pick_save from Services and disallows direct use of rfd dialogs.
Open and import workflows crates/ui-egui/src/app/files.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/dialogs.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/dialogs/tests.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/menus/run.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/menus/tests.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/menus/ui_commands.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/panels/*, crates/ui-egui/src/shortcuts_dialog.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/tests.rs	File commands and panels request paths through app-managed dialogs or asynchronous open services. Callbacks process selected paths for opening, placing, importing, relinking, and loading profiles, libraries, scripts, and shortcuts.
Save and export workflows crates/ui-egui/src/dialogs.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/dialogs/tests.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/menus/*, crates/ui-egui/src/panels/library.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/shortcuts_dialog.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/tests.rs	Save and export commands request destinations through deferred callbacks. Command descriptions document optional paths and package directories. Tests provide dialog answers through the app-managed dialog system.
Save before quit or close crates/ui-egui/src/app/quit.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/dialogs.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/lib.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/menus.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/menus/run.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/tests.rs	Quit and document-close flows use save_then and wait for save completion. Quit approves a document only if it still exists and is clean; document close proceeds only after a successful save leaves it clean.

Before / after behavior

• observed — Modified behavior in apps/designcraft-web/src/web.rs: Removed the pick_save callback from the web Services configuration; it previously returned the supplied name unchanged.
• observed — Modified behavior in apps/designcraft/Cargo.toml: Added comments noting that craft-dialogs handles dialogs and that rfd’s default features keep Wayland support enabled for parented portal dialogs.
• observed — Modified behavior in apps/designcraft/src/main.rs: App::ui now names and uses the eframe frame parameter rather than ignoring it.
• observed — Modified behavior in apps/designcraft/src/main.rs: After rendering and the macOS IME handling, App::ui now invokes show_file_dialogs with the current frame.

⚠️ Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Repin craft-dialogs to storytold/craft-libs before release.

The workspace depends on a personal fork (aiongg/craft-libs) at a fixed rev. The pin limits drift. A release build still takes its dialog layer from a repository outside the organization. The PR description already plans a repin after the linked craft-libs PR merges. Track that repin as a merge precondition.
