Do you mean the "Data Format" dropdown when opening a completely new .gnucash file? That isn't present when importing files, so the native file chooser could be used, no? I found an alternate workaround: open a windows explorer window and navigate to somewhere on my network drive, then drag a folder over to gnucash's file chooser. I still don't get a way to type in my file path or name, which is quite frustrating, and it doesn't show the hostname of the server, but at least I can see the folder names and click around to get to things without all the overhead of mapping a drive.
