Re: [Gimp-user] Can't browse directories in GIMP 2.10

[Elle Stone <ellestone ninedegreesbelow com>]

Is this bug report relevant? If so, the fix might be in glib 2.56.2.

https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/issues/3584
Since last updates gtk filechooser appears broken.

Steps:

    run gedit
    Open -> Other documents ...
    Dialog shows, try to change drive to "Label (D:)"
    No content to bowse
