Description | Use the dontUseNS property to change the behavior and appearance of file dialog boxes. On Mac OS systems with Navigation Services installed, applications can use a new implementation of the standard file dialog boxes. Navigation Services dialogs have a title bar and are movable. By default, LiveCode supports Navigation Services and uses the new dialog boxes. To disable this feature and use the old-style modal dialog boxes for file actions, set the dontUseNS property to true. The setting of this property affects all file dialog boxes used in LiveCode, including the dialogs displayed by the ask file, answer file, and answer folder commands, as well as dialog boxes displayed by menu items such as "Save" and "Open Stack".
