Hello Everyone,

I've a plain and hopefully simple to replicate issue that when I want to add a sound to the mission, the dialog to select a sound file is not showing up anymore in the mission editor.

To replicate: create new mission, add a trigger, add sound to all, try to select a sound -> no dialog.

It still works for pictures and script files though. Tried on Caucasus and Cold War German maps, but I don't think it is related to the maps.

does anyone else have this issue?

Did a quick test (on Windows 10). Newly created, empty mission on Caucasus. Added a ONCE trigger with the SOUND TO ALL action and could open the file chooser dialog:

Hey Actium, thanks for checking!

Yeah, I was missing the file dialog you just posted.

I deleted the settings.lua in my Save Games\DCS\MissionEditor folder and now its fixed. I guess it tried to open an not existing path anymore or something.

=>So, I guess when you run into these problems, reset your settings. I've no idea though, how I got there. I just realized that I used this functions two days ago with the same DCS version ...

That's a weird random issue that pops up occasionally.  No real reason and it seems to be individual people rather than widespread when it happens so likely corruption on their install for no apparent reason.
