SUMMARY

If I launch the app and want to open files to compare - I can't open files, the app doesn't show me .html files in directories. It shows directories as empty.
If I select a file in a directory and use Open with kdiff3 - it opens one file. I can't open the other file - the app shows the directory as empty.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Select an (html) file - Open with - select kdiff3
2. Press File button to select the other (html) file in the dir
3. the dir looks empty - while if I look at it in file explorer, it's full of html files.

In the screenshot the 2nd file is invisible.
