Okay, I just started LibreOffice with English GUI, to make sure to get
it right. On my system it is:
Tools → Options… → LibreOffice → General → Open/Save dialogs → ☐ Use
LibreOffice dialogs
I have it unticked.
”Open/Save dialogs” is between ”Help” and ”Document status”.

Well, that is with Swedish GUI. I think it is ”Default format” or
something like that with English GUI.
