Home directory shown as empty in Open file dialog

[shade-belisar]

OS: Linux Mint 19.1, Cinnamon 64 bit

I recently installed oomox via the software manager and it is generally working great.

However, when I click on Import -> Colors from Image and select my Home directory (both via the bookmark in the top-left corner and by navigation to /home//) it is shown as empty. This is happening on my desktop as well as my notebook (both running the same os).

I tried copying an image into /home, but while the folder does show up there, the image does not.

Any idea why this is happening?

could you please submit a screenshot to make me easier to understand/reproduce the problem?

As you can see, my home directory isn't empty. But it shows up as empty in the "Please choose an image file" dialog.

could you try running oomox-gui from the terminal and see if there are any error messages shown?

This is the only output I get when running oomox from the terminal:

!! WARNING !! 'pystache' and 'python-yaml' need to be installed for exporting Base16 themes

could you also try opening file dialog in Meld app?

For GTK2 I have 2.24.32-1ubuntu1 and for GTK3 3.22.30-1ubuntu4.

I can browse my home directory without any issue in Meld.
