Imported File Selection Should Strictly Use Windows Path — Root / Path Causes Errors

[sumit140792]

Description:
When importing a required file (e.g., configuration, data, or workspace-related files), the file selection dialog allows selecting from the root / directory, even on Windows systems. This leads to incorrect path resolution, import errors, and overall bad user experience.

Expected Behavior:
On Windows, the file import dialog should:

Use Windows-style paths (e.g., C:\Users\Username...)

Strictly prevent or not allow defaulting to root / paths, which are invalid in the Windows file system.

Actual Behavior:

File selection opens at or allows navigating to /.

If a file is selected from this path, the application may:

Crash or throw an exception

Fail to import the file correctly

Misinterpret the file path or structure

Steps to Reproduce:

Launch the app on Windows.

Attempt to import a required file (via “Import”, “Add Config”, etc.).

Notice that the file dialog may start at /, or allow manual entry of root-style paths.

Selecting or entering such a path causes errors.
