A basic CSV reader with save function made with pyqt6. Code also available at the following github page.

            "CSV Files (*.csv)",
        )

${HOME} , this cannot work to open home folder

try

from PyQt6.QtCore import QDir

        homefolder =  QDir.homePath()
        fname, ok = QFileDialog.getOpenFileName(
            self,
            "Open File",
            homefolder,
            "CSV Files (*.csv)",
        )

I didn't know you can also do it that way, will give it a try.

Using a toolbar for the buttons looks better...
