Unable to open Windows 10/11 file manager from custom Power BI visual

Hello,

 

I have developed custom Power BI visual using React. I have file upload feature for which I have used <input type="file">. The web version works well and can open the Windows 10/11 file manager. But on the desktop version I am unable to open the Windows 10/11 file manager.

 

I tried to find the way to debug the application on the Desktop version of Power BI but was not able to debug.

 

I did find that in Desktop Power BI once I have opened the Windows 10/11 file manager by following steps:
1. Either by using

Import a file from visual

 or navigating to

File > Options and Settings > Options > Diagnostics > Open crash dump/traces folder

2. Close the Desktop Power BI
3. Open the Desktop Power BI
4. Import the custom viusal from file
5. Now the file manager opens from the custom visual which I have build with react.

 

But the above steps are not ideal solution.

 

Note: I have tested only on Windows 10/11. I am not sure about other versions of Windows.

 

Need help for the solution
