Description

### System Information

Archlinux

### LMMS Version(s)

nightly

### Most Recent Working Version

_No response_

### Bug Summary

When the file picker is launched in LMMS (via exporting, opening or other operations), previous bookmarks from LMMS and other Qt applications are overwritten and lost.

### Expected Behaviour

Previous bookmarks/configuration of the URL Sidebar remains.

### Steps To Reproduce

1. In other QT apps (e.g Krita), open the file dialog and add any bookmark.
2. Open the dialog again in that app (e.g Krita) to verify that the bookmark is there.
3. Open LMMS and activate the file dialog.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the file dialog through exporting, opening, or another LMMS operation, then compare the URL Sidebar behavior with Krita or another Qt application. Done means bookmarks and other sidebar configuration created in LMMS or another Qt app remain intact after launching LMMS's file picker.
