This is the door handle the previous blog post was talking about. There remain a few more bells and whistles to add to it, like favourites and a directory navigation dropdown, but this perfectly boring dialog handles a lot of complexity under the hood, so the user doesn't have to.
Oh, and the .ooloi files are empty – I haven't secretly imported huge scores without telling anyone. No, that happens after the Piece Window, up next, and after the first version of the MusicXML Import plugin, the first canonical one, is implemented. Then the engine will be bombarded with large amounts of musical data, to drive the implementation of real-world engraving.

Thanks for the update. Does this window correspond to what is reached in Igor Engraver's Piece Window via the menu File -> Open?

Yes, that's the equivalent of File → Open. But it's worth marking where the resemblance stops, because the dialog hides a different machine underneath.

OK, will some distinction be made between documents that are to be found on my computer and those that are available on another Ooloi if my computer is connected to it?

Yes. Either you’re working with your own files, as in any other program; or you make a conscious decision to connect to another Ooloi, and then you see only the pieces that Ooloi lets you reach, none of your own private ones. And when you’re connected, you get that pulsing indicator from the earlier post.

Ooloi is an open-source desktop music notation system for musicians who need stable, precise engraving and the freedom to notate complex music without workarounds. Scores and parts are handled consistently, remain responsive at scale, and support collaborative work without semantic compromise. They are not tied to proprietary formats or licensing.
Ooloi is currently under development. No release date has been announced.
