When opening a file via Strata's "Open File" dialog (the one set as the system default file-open dialog), the location/path field only supports navigating into directories - there's no way to type or paste a direct path to a specific file and have it jump straight to that file (with it selected/highlighted).
Current behavior:
The path/location field lets you type a directory path to navigate into it, but if you include a filename at the end, it doesn't resolve to that file.
Requested behavior:
Typing or pasting a full path to a file (e.g. /home/user/Documents/report.pdf) into the location field should navigate to that file's parent directory and select/highlight the file, ready to confirm the "Open" action - similar to how GTK's/KDE's file chooser and most other file-open dialogs behave (e.g. via Ctrl+L path entry in GNOME/Nautilus-style pickers).
Why this matters:
Without this, opening a specific file when you already know its exact path requires manually clicking through each directory level instead of just pasting the path, which is slow and inconvenient — especially for deeply nested paths.
