Folder browse just shows Desktop #124

I want to add the profile for the first addon set, but picking the folder just shows the desktop folder, nothing more, tried with the 2.0.1 and same result

Could you take a screenshot? I'm not sure what just shows the desktop means.

I had the same issue and if you click on your "desktop" this will show the path. In my case, the path was "C:\bla\OneDrive\bla"

The important part here is the "\OneDrive\". I realized that the system can't show the whole folder hierarchy as my "Desktop" is, in fact, a link to the OneDrive folder.

One solution (in my case I did not wanted to have drive setup, one stone two birds) is to remove the backup of the desktop folder on OneDrive

Then, when you start instawow, this should show the whole folder hierarchy.

Yep, it looks like this is affecting lots of other Windows apps: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/windows-11-browse-for-folder-dialog-issue-only/0a0ce0a5-0a72-4483-a51e-1b3ee9dffcdb.

Appears to have been fixed in Windows back in March.
