I have a /Shared symlink to some common useful files inside an external disk, fluida file browser cannot enter this folder, I am guessing because it is a symlink.
That makes it a bit painful, because then I have to to manually go to /media/falktx/.../Personal/...etcetc

This is a bit worse than I thought.
I simply cant pick any file in my system.

I said incorrect things in the previous post, my /Shared/ folder is not a symlink, but the mount point for a external XFS formatted drive.
fluida cannot enter it.
then, /home/falktx/Personal/ IS the symlink. fluida cannot enter this one either.
Here is a video showing the issue https://falktx.com/data/carla-fluida-browser.mp4

The issue was that I use d_type from dirent to check if content is a file or a directory. Some file systems didn't support that.
I've fixed that now by using stat on entry's which return DT_UNKNOWN.
