[Bug] Unable to change Data storage location in Ubuntu 23.04

[stephendpmurphy]

Bug Description

I've installed AppFlowy from the deb installer for Linux. Once I clicked quick-start I attempted to go into the settings and update the data storage location to be on my NAS so I can use the same boards across multiple devices.

How to Reproduce

1.) Install new version of AppFlowy 2.) Select "quick-start" keeping the data location at the default location 3.) Navigate to Settings -> Files -> Change to change the data storage location 4.) File dialog opens but then I can't actually select a new destination folder.

I'm attempting to change it to a folder on my NAS but it also doesn't work when attempting to select even my home directory.

Expected Behavior

When the file dialog opens, I expect to be able to navigate to my preferred folder/directory and select Open.

Operating System

⚡ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 23.04 Release: 23.04 Codename: lunar

AppFlowy Version(s)

appflowy 0.3.7

Screenshots

Current path in .local folder.

Clicking change opens a dialog. But once drilled down into the directory I want, I can't click Open. It's grayed out.

Additional Context

No response

Coming here to just bump this issue.. I have since switched all of my knowledge base storage to Notion and it's been great. However, it eats at me ever so slightly every time I think about it knowing I'm having to rely on an entity who can pull the rug out from under me at any point. I've slowly been trying to make a move to using FOSS and self-hosting my information as much as possible. I really want to use AppFlowy, but functional items like choosing where the data is stored really needs to be fixed.

I have two machines that are each dual-booting OSs which I constantly have to switch between for different workflows. I really need to be able host this information (DB) in a central location that all workflows can access.
