Hi Patrick

Exactly my point. This limitation does not seem to exist in Krita.

You wrote >You are missing something ???

YES I am.

Apparently, Krita opens files using the standard open file dialogue of the
user's operating system. IMHO, this is the way to go.

Did you even compare the Gimp's open file explorer with that of Krita? If
not I challenge you to do so and see for your self than to believe they are
the same. See attachment if you can.
