Description

Unless I'm missing something, async seems to not be possible if an app has no windows. Is that intentional?

Research direction

Start with src/backend/macos/modal_future.rs at lines 67-69 and inspect how AsyncFileDialog behaves when the app has no windows. Reproduce the scenario in a macOS app without windows and determine whether the limitation is intentional. Done means the behavior is clarified and either supported or documented according to the project’s decision.
