Description

Across Constellation, there are different dialog boxes that are presented when wanting to open a file. Some use the native OS while others use a custom Constellation dialog box. This should be fixed such that it is consistent across the application.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Constellation
  2. Go File > Open
  3. Observe the dialog box
  4. Open the File Importer
  5. Click the + button to load a file
  6. Observe the dialog box

Expected behaviour: Dialog box used should be the same

Actual behaviour: One uses a constellation dialog and the other uses the local OS dialog

Reproduces how often: 100%

Additional Information

Given you get the Constellation dialog when going File > Open, I suspect it is a native Netbeans one. I do think it looks slightly nicer either way so I think using that dialog is the way to go
