[Resolved] Folder selection for Project Interpreter Paths bug (Win 10). Can't select folder, only opens them.
Hello,
Whenever I try to go to the Project Interpreters and select one and then try to add additional paths, I get stuck in a loop which will not actually select the folder, it just opens the folder. I tried right-clicking and hitting Select on the folder, using shift+enter, alt+enter, every possible key combination that might do something different, etc. I even tried making a shortcut to the folder and selecting that to see if it would accept that, but that ended up in the same situation.
I tried dragging the folder into the list of paths, but nothing works. I checked the PyCharm registry menu to see if it was stored there, but could not find it. I also tried searching my drive to see if that list was stored in a file but could not find it.
Here is an actual example of it in action.

How can I go about adding a path here? I am trying to use Python with Houdini, but to have access to the "hou" namespace I need to be able to add it for this project. I was using v2019.3.1 at first, and tried to roll back to 2019.3, but it still did the same thing. Other menus that use a PyCharm built-in file selection menu work fine, it's just when this file selection with the white box comes up, it never works.
In VSCode I was able to just add this and it works fine:
Is there an equivelent way to manually edit the configs like this in PyCharm without having to actually add it to my systems paths?
Thanks,
-MH

You seem to have native file chooser enabled. Please go to registry settings (double shift | type "registry") and check the option "ide.win.file.chooser.native", disable if enabled, then try again.
Oh man, thank you. That was driving me batty. If that is not supposed to be like that, I am not sure how it became set. I never changed anything in the registry, at least not for PyCharm. It is working now, thanks a bunch!
Seems to be a known issue https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-101218
Ah, I see. Looks like it goes back a good while, too. Well, I am just glad it is working now at least. Thanks again.
