Right. The file selection dialog flashes for a second then disappears. To get around
that, I did a Quick Download, which does work but doesn't need a file selection dialog.
To compensate for the absence of a file selection dialog, I went into the settings to
change the default directory myself. The Change button also causes a file selection
dialog to flash for a second & disappear. At least I can manually type a directory name
into the field. So the issue seems to be with the file selection dialog, not the rest of
VDH. I was already using CoApp 2.0.6 & did not see this, so the problem must lie in the
8.1.0.0a7 extension itself. This is a pretty major inconvenience.

I'm using Firefox 119.0.1 on XUbuntu 23.10 with the beta and vdhcoapp-2.0.6-linux-x86_64. When I go to YouTube and attempt to sideload a video, I get a page saying that the companion app needs to be installed, even though I've installed it. This just started happening a few days ago with XUbuntu 23.04 and the regular version of VDH.

Hi everyone,
It seems there is an issue with the last beta.
A new one will come soon to fix this. Sorry.

Same happens when trying to use the feature to assemble local files, a tab briefly flashes and that's it.
