Subject: [packman] [Bug] OpenSUSE Tumbleweed: VLC won't "Add directory..."
Message-ID: <06bbddea-4e1c-48cc-84d0-c8bc35ed84e0@andtru.org>

I'm sorry if this is not the place to report this.

I updated to Tumbleweed 20260703 with VLC version 
3.0.23-1699.10.pm-x86_64 from Packman and now if I try to add a 
directory to the playlist, it doesn't work.

Steps to repeat:
1) Open VLC
2) Right click in the Playlist window and select "Add directory..."
3) In file selection window, traverse to desired directory and click 'Open'

and nothing happens, no directory added, file selection popup doesn't 
close. Prior to this, the directory would be added to the playlist.

Opening a single file works fine. Dragging a directory from Dolphin onto 
the playlist also works. As a workaround I can do "Add file..." and 
select all the files in a directory and open them that way.

It's working fine on my end. How about running it after doing "$ mv
vlc-qt-interface.conf vlc-qt-interface.conf-bak"?

My environment;

   1. $ cat /etc/os-release 
      NAME="openSUSE Tumbleweed"
      # VERSION="20260708"

   2. $ rpm -q
      vlc-3.0.23-1699.10.pm.20.x86_64

Best Regards.
