# fileDialogImportsUnresolvedAliases(_:)

On macOS, configures the fileExporter, fileImporter, or fileMover behavior when a user chooses an alias.

## Declaration

```swift
nonisolated func fileDialogImportsUnresolvedAliases(_ imports: Bool) -> some View

```

## Parameters

- `imports`: A Boolean value that indicates if the application receives unresolved or resolved URLs when a user chooses aliases.

## Discussion

Discussion By default, file dialogs resolve aliases and provide the URL of the item referred to by the chosen alias. This modifier allows control of this behavior: pass true if the application doesn’t want file dialog to resolve aliases.
