Choose Folder does not work in Linux app

Hello,

I noticed this problem because I got annoyed from the Zoom app making a second Documents folder in my home every time i use it, just to have a place to save recordings, which i never do. This is because my original Documents folder is named Dokumente, since my i set my os language to German.

When I go to settings (Why can I only go to settings when I log in?), there is indeed something to change the place. But if you choose a place in the dialog, it does'nt allow to actually select and submit it. So it stays "/Documents/Zoom". That's bad.

Sincerely

ok9

Let us change the current working directory to the home (login) directory in Linux, run:
cd

The default DIR is the value of the HOME shell variable. We can print that using the printf command/echo command as follows:
echo "$HOME"

To print the current working directory, use the pwd command:
pwd

Next change to an arbitrary directory named /etc/ufw/, type:
cd /etc/ufw
pwd

At this stage, you may want to list the directory contents. Hence, try the ls command:
ls
ls -l

Say you need to go down one level of the directory tree (say you want to change to the applications.d), run:
cd applications.d
pwd
ls -l
