Can not make bookmarks for image folder

[JaBo]

I have a dual boot set up (Windows 11/Ubuntu 24.04) with Gimp 2.10.38.
In GIMP on my Ubuntu OS I want to make a bookmark for the my images folder (not sure of the English Windows folder name) on the Windows drive. I can access this folder in the open dialogue but if I want to bookmark it, the bookmark option is greyed out. Note that I can make bookmarks for other folders on the Windows drive.

Do you see this folder in your regular Ubuntu file explorer or can navigate to it with the shell?

yes this folder is shown in the regular Ubuntu file explorer and I also can access it with the shell.

I would ascribe this to the snap sandboxing...

You are correct. I installed GIMP using the shell and now bookmarking works fine.

Thank you!
