I think I added a comment on the wxl linked bug, but it does seem like there is more than one bug on this situation??? I flushed a fair amount of time trying to do what I had done possibly a month or two before, i.e., upload a photo to IG via Chromium, had worked well, then this time I’m faced with a “blank” “Downloads” folder . . . and then same thing happened in Gdebi . . . . Haven’t had time to go through all apps, but it created “resistance” to what should be “routine” . . . . Accessing one’s own files in one’s own system shouldn’t need “security” . . . but preventing someone else from accessing said files, OK, I get it.
