Answer 1

Hello,

What platform do you need to minimize FolderPicker on? --- Windows

Thanks for your feedback.

On the Windows platform, FolderPicker uses the interface provided by WinRT. This interface provides a unified UI for selecting files and folders and cannot be customized.

You could refer to Open files and folders with a picker for more details.

Since this issue involves the underlying API of Windows, you cannot implement this feature by changing some options from Maui.

Best Regards,

Alec Liu.

There are no options currently provided to do this. I think you should make a feature request to the Community Toolkit team over here.
