Description
I was trying to use QGIS 0.11 and 1.00 on a OS X 10.4 machine and I noticed that I cannot get to any of the drives that are mounted besides the primary hard drive. Apparently, I am not the only one who has seen this http://forum.qgis.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4462. This is a major problem especially when you have a portable drive with your GIS data that is larger than your primary hard drive. If you have any questions please let me know.
Thank You,
Justin Cole

Testing with OS X 10.5.7 and Qgis 1.1.0-Pan (Unstable) installed from http://www.kyngchaos.com/files/software/unixport/Qgis-1.1.0-3-Leopard.dmg.
File -> Open Project... -> no currently mounted volumes appear in the 'Look in' column of the dialog.

Workaround: type "/Volumes" in the File name box and press return. Then you can navigate to external drives and network mounts.
Tom Elwertowski was working on a more OSX-native open/save dialog, but he's been quiet since last October.

If no one is working on this matter and the workaround... works, I propose to add this tip in the manual and close the ticket (or at least change it to enhancement).

Now that QGIS uses (should use) native dialogs, this issue should be solved. Please check again with a recent QGIS from trunk and close it if appropriate.

Yep, native open dialog tested with open vector, Qt 4.5, OSX 10.6 (others should be good also).
