The problem has already been reported. We checked our code, we only set a start folder, no filters. The cause are broken / patched Mint packages. Maik

I attempted the "Settings, Misc, Appearance, "native file dialogs" remedy but this gave me "native file dialogs but still [forced] pictures as the only directory selectable. Worst case scenario, could i downgrade back to 6.0 when digikam worked properly?
Additionally, when i choose a digikamdb location as /home.. I am met with the error "digikam cannot use the db location you chose" yada yada would you like digikam to create it for you? YES.. error.. digikam could not create the db files in that location ..after selecting another location.. I have searched numerous ways to find a solution to fixing this.
Fixed with #425138
