In order to add, remove, or edit the Path Selector, navigate to its form.yml file to make any appropriate changes.

directory is the initial directory the path selector will open to when the users opens the modal. This defaults to the users' HOME.

show_files is a boolean flag to show files or not. This defaults to true - it will show files.

popup_title is the title displayed in the modal. Default is "Select Your Working Directory".

favorites allows you to override the favorite paths you've added in files menu. Provide an array of new favorites or set to false to disable showing favorites altogether.
