Files don't show up in KDE Neon

[yasharya2901]

When I tried to find the files by pressing the button, nothing showed up in any of of my folders. I even tried dragging and dropping but that also didn't worked. At the end, I typed the named of the file and hit entered and then it worked.

Distro: KDE Neon latest version

just downloaded, I tried to start the application and the graphical interface works but when I try to add the file for compression the explorer window is completely empty.

I have the same problem in FerenOS based on Ubuntu 20.04 with KDE. It is impossible to open any file. Even writing the name does not work.

I coded a shell script named "pdf-compress.sh" where I can drag and drop the files I want to compress. The output files are saved at the same path the original ones are, but at the end of the name "_compressed" is appended. Just drag and drop and press ENTER:

#!/bin/bash
printf "Enter the path of the PDF files: \n\n"
IFS= read -r file_list

IFS="'" read -ra files <<< "$file_list"

for ((i=0; i<${#files[@]}; i++)); do
file="${files[i]}"
if [ $(($i % 2)) -eq 0 ]; then
continue
fi
if [ ! -f "$file" ]; then
echo "File not found or not a regular file: $file"
continue
fi

path=$(dirname "$file")
filename=$(basename "$file")
extension="${filename##.}"
filename="${filename%.}"
output="${path}/${filename}_compressed.${extension}"

LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 ghostscript -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dPDFSETTINGS=/ebook -dNOPAUSE -dQUIET -dBATCH -sOutputFile="$output" "$file"
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
printf "\nFile $file has been compressed and saved as $output\n"
else
printf "\nAn error occurred while compressing the file $file\n"
fi
done
