The new fuzzy file picker makes it really hard to me to find files in huge projects (~5,000 source files). Regardless of what I'm typing in the file picker I receive a lot of results I definitely don't want. Example below:

fuzzyfilepicker

The old file picker used to work like the IntelliSense widget which feels consistent to me as a user. Is there a way to turn on the old file picker again?

Think you're looking for this, at the bottom:

#968

Haven't tested it myself though...

Currently we do not plan to bring the previous thing back, sorry. But leaving open as feature request if someone wants to jump in.
