Apparently Fusion 360 can't handle properly the file open events on Windows as the following scenario should otherwise work:
1. Find an image somewhere (say a Facebook post where someone wants help designing something to mach the object in a photo)
2. Decide you want to help and attempt to load said image as a canvas in a new project so,
a) start new project
b) under Design, insert-> Canvas -> From my computer => OS's File Open dialog opens
c) under File name, paste image's URL (as an example, a random cat picture from https://placekitten.com/1920/1080 )
Expected result: - said URL is parsed by the OS, an image is saved in a temporary file and that file is then passed to Fusion for handling resulting in said image being rendered as a Canvas object.
Actual result: File Open dialog closes, we're back in Fusion's UI where the only option is to close the image picking dialog. Once that canceled Fusion becomes unresponsve, any click anywhere returning the "busy" beep. The only solution is to kill the process from the task manager.
