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"
