For Scribus-aqua I can confirm this behavior, both for the open and the save file selection windows. > Any suggestions? Run sudo SetFile -a v /Volumes Then you will see the directory "/Volumes" on the top level of the file hierarchy, and in this directory you will find your external drives. If you want to go back to the original situation, run sudo SetFile -a V /Volumes Explanation: The /Volumes folder has the "invisible" flag set that prevents Finder from showing it in open/save dialogs. Scribus does not use Finder widgets, but it uses a Qt file open/save widget that, in its aqua form, apparently respects the "invisible" flag. In the X11 version of Scribus, this does not happen; you will always have access to the drives mounted in /Volumes. I don't know if there is a configuration option (either for Scribus or for Qt) to switch this behavior off, but it seems desirable. -- Martin
