Windows app: “Files and folders” attachment picker only allows selecting files
Description
In the Codex Windows desktop app, the chat composer menu includes an option labeled “Files and folders”, but after clicking it, the native picker only allows selecting individual files. There is no way to select a folder.
The equivalent flow works as expected in the macOS client, where a folder can be selected and attached.
Steps to reproduce
- Open the Codex desktop app on Windows.
- Open any chat.
- Click the
+button in the composer. - Select Files and folders.
- Try to select a folder in the native picker.
Actual behavior
The picker behaves as a file-only picker. Folders can only be opened for navigation and cannot be selected as the attachment.
Expected behavior
The picker should allow selecting either:
- one or more files, or
- a folder
This should match the behavior of the macOS client and the wording of the menu item.
Environment
- Platform: Windows
- Client: Codex desktop app
- UI language: Chinese
- macOS comparison: folder selection works correctly
Additional context
The menu itself explicitly says “Files and folders” (文件和文件夹), so the current Windows behavior is misleading even if folder attachments are not yet implemented. If folder attachment is intentionally unsupported on Windows, the menu label should be adjusted or the limitation documented.
