Electron dialog used in wrong process
dialog.*not.*main.*process|showOpenDialog.*undefined|cannot use.*dialog.*renderer
Fixes
- 1.Use dialog module in main process only, invoke via IPC from renderer
- 2.Call dialog.showOpenDialog(mainWindow, options) from an ipcMain handler
- 3.In renderer, send IPC message and receive file paths from main process response
