Hey! The AppImage requires you to have xdg-desktop-portals installed on your system, that's the only way to properly have a file picker there. Install the right one though your package manager

installation of xdg-desktop-portal and xdg-desktop-portal-gnome changes error to

[ERROR] [libimhex | Main]           Requested file dialog returned an error: No such interface “org.freedesktop.portal.FileChooser” on object at path /org/freedesktop/portal/desktop

[raydac]

helped listed steps

• added /usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/portals/portals.conf

[preferred]
default=gnome
org.freedesktop.impl.portal.FileChooser=gnome

• restart portal with systemctl --user restart xdg-desktop-portal
