XnView MP 0.99.1 not seeing local linux folder

Subject: 0.99.1: not seeing local linux folder

XnView: MP 0.99.1 - 64 bit
OS: PopOs Linux 64bit

I have a local folder "/data", which directly belongs to my user. Nothing special, just a directory created with root, and then ownership assigned to my normal user. I have a subdirectory with pictures in there, but I cannot browse it with XnView MP.

When I open XnView MP, it just won't show the directory "/data". When I enter "/data" directly in the input field, a little error popup message appears:

"This folder doesn't exist."

Even though the folder definitely exists, and my user has all permissions required to browse it.

To reproduce:

1. sudo mkdir /data
2. chown -R /data <myuser>
3. launch XnView MP and try opening "/data"

1. sudo mkdir /data
2. chown -R /data <myuser>
3. launch XnView MP and try opening "/data"

On ubuntu, no problem

That is great. But it doesn't on PopOs. Anything I can do to help find out why?

[xnview]

what's difference between this folder and other folders browsed by XnView?
