Description rbs 2018-05-13 02:36:37 UTC 
I just installed version 2.10.   I went to the 'Open Image' dialog and the list of paces shows all devices, including the C: internal hard drive, the E: external hard drive and the G: USB drive.   However, when I click or double click on the hard drives no folders or files come up and the preview window says "No Selection".   The only files or folders I get are in places that are folders, like "Pictures" or "Documents"

You people test this stuff?

This problem has been fixed in our software repository. The fix will go into the next software release. Once that release is available, you may want to check for a software upgrade provided by your Linux distribution.

1--I am on Windows 10.  Not Linux.
2--When is this next release going to happen and will this bug fix be also in the Windows environment?

Yes, I think Michael just had a small lapse or mixed bugs or something (though the duplicate he set is the right one). :-)
This bug is Windows-only, and so is the fix!

As for "when", we can't really say, but hopefully soon.
