   Title

   "Improve 'Open Project' Dialog: Add Unified Folder Browser with Recent Folders & Cross-Platform Support"

   Description

   Currently, the "Open Project" dialog in OpenCode Web lacks an intuitive folder browsing experience, particularly for:

   • Cross-platform folder navigation (Windows, macOS, Linux)
   • Discovering projects in nested directories
   • Quick access to frequently-used folders

   Current Problem

   1. Users cannot browse or navigate the file system through the "Open Project" dialog
   2. Only recently accessed projects appear in the suggestions
   3. Searching by folder name doesn't return results
   4. No visual folder hierarchy/tree view available

   Proposed Solution

   1. Folder Browser Tree View

   • Display a folder structure starting from the base disk (e.g., C:\ on Windows, / on macOS/Linux)
   • Expandable/collapsible folder tree for hierarchical navigation
   • Allow users to drill down through directories to locate projects

   2. Recent Folders Panel

   Instead of searching all folders:

   • Display the first 3 most recently opened folders by default
   • Include a "Show More" button to reveal additional recent folders
   • Recent list should populate from:
     • CLI usage history
     • Web interface browsing history
     • Recent opens across both platforms

   3. Cross-Platform Compatibility

   • Windows: Display drive letters (C:, D:, etc.) at base level
   • macOS: Display Volumes and home directory shortcuts
   • Linux: Display common mount points and home directory
   • Unified navigation experience across all platforms

   4. Quick Actions

   • Breadcrumb navigation showing current path
   • Search/filter within current folder
   • Common shortcuts (Desktop, Documents, Downloads, etc.)

   Expected Behavior

   1. User opens "Open Project" dialog
   2. Sees Recent Folders section with top 3 folders + "More" button
   3. Can expand folder tree from root to navigate to project location
   4. Can select any folder containing a valid project

   Benefits

   • ✅ Better discoverability for nested projects
   • ✅ Faster access to frequently-used folders
   • ✅ Intuitive cross-platform experience
   • ✅ Reduced reliance on CLI for project discovery

   I have the same issues, running on ubuntu

   edit: after upgrading to v1.1.49 i can manually start entering the full path and opencode will automatically list the directories, and i am able to use tab to auto complete
