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
