However, if my application does need to access any file directory, can it only be satisfied by customizing Rust

Yes.

In regards to your initial question however, we’re looking into some kind of whitelist system to allow user-selected paths (dialog/file-drop) to bypass this limitation.

Tauri is a framework for building tiny, blazing-fast binaries for all major desktop platforms.

The whitelisting system sounds great, if the user can’t use their directory/file selected in the dialog in the desktop application, they will get confused about it. With the best wishes awaiting the whitelisting system.

That would require them to edit the paths returned from the dialog to not contain the /home/username/ path and use the BaseDirectory enum on the readDir api. Let’s just say that we really didn’t think that one through 😅 but that’s what pre-release versions are for and luckily we have enough users trying out these versions and report stuff we missed💪
