Terminal output when selecting a folder

In Fork, when going to "File > Open a Repository..." (or any of the options
that require selecting a folder) and selecting a folder in the file explorer
and clicking, "Open", the following error pops up: "The selection contains a
non-folder object". I've tried selecting folders in both C: and Z: with no
luck.

I've added the terminal output during the time I select a folder, but nothing
prints out right when I do it, so I don't think it's particularly helpful.

My OS is Linux Mint 20.2 Cinnamon

Steps to reproduce:

1. You can use either wine-6.18 or wine-6.0.1, the issue occurs in both
2. Setup a 64-bit wine prefix (Fork crashes on install in a 32 bit prefix, at
least as far as I've tried)
3. Make sure to have dotnet462, dxvk155, and d3dcompiler_47 installed (I used
Winetricks to install).
4. Download Fork (https://git-fork.com/) and install (in the prefix you just
created)
5. If the windows come up black, add the following registry key to disable
hardware acceleration:

wine reg add "HKCU\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Avalon.Graphics" /v
DisableHWAcceleration /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

6. Set a name and email (this would be used if you were committing/pushing
stuff with Fork).
7. Make a test directory: "mkdir MyTestDir" and "touch MyTestDir/stuff.txt"
8. Then in Fork go to "File > Init New Repository..." and navigate to your test
directory.

Normally, Fork would initialize a git repository in your test directory, but
instead it currently throws the error: "The selection contains a non-folder
object".
