Description Larsen 2021-02-25 14:56:02 UTC 
SUMMARY
I have noticed this problem in the monitor "Extract frame to project", but it probably applies to the save dialog in general. When the current directory has a symlink with another directory as a target, double clicking it will change the value in the path displayed above, but won't actually change to that directory

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have a directory containing a symlink to another directory
2. From a clip use "Extract frame to project"
3. In the save dialog, double click on the symlink

OBSERVED RESULT
It will change the value in the path displayed above, but won't actually change to that directory.


EXPECTED RESULT
Should open the directory that the symlink is pointing to.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows 10

Thank you for reporting. I can confirm this issue on Windows following your steps. The png file will not be saved if you have opened a symlink folder (neither an error appears).
