Zotero unable to view "Other Locations" on archlinux (report ID 648004450

Hello, I have just installed Zotero on archlinux, when I tried to choose another directory for zotero or import files, the only thing it can see is the /home/user (where it installs) and it is not able to access anywhere else.
My partitions are mounted correctly with my user has the full access so I am confused what happened.

    You're using a third-party package that uses sandboxing. We can only help with the official tarball, which doesn't use sandboxing.

    No, I just download the tarball on the website and run it directly, that’s why I wonder what is happening
  • dstillman
    If you're not seeing all your files, you're either not actually using the tarball (e.g., you're running some previous package you installed) or there are some other security restrictions on your computer. Zotero just opens a standard OS filepicker.

    I just tried to install zotero using yay (AUR). Not able to access "other locations" like a stardard OS filepicker. So I deleted it, then download the tarball, run it, now working properly either. Could you give me some idea to solve it? Thank you

    update:
    I have deleted the zotero profile directory. It seemed that it gave me a fresh start because it welcomes me to install, I don't know if this is resetting the zotero. It still can not get to other locations.
    And I get the Report ID: 648004450.

    Debug Output:

    Update:
    Still unable to browse other locations.
    Pasted into preferences, it restarts then it works.

    Sounds weird but it seemed OK now. It seemed that this is about the GUI, it doesn't read the lsblk thing and put it into one directory.
