Last week I did a fresh install of Mint 20 Cinnamon and also the latest CQRLOG which I compiled per Saku's tutorial. All worked just fine until I attempted to export my log to a thumb drive. With Mint 19, 18 and 17 every Sunday I would export my entire log to a thumb dive via "QSO list-file-export-ADIF" and then select my thum drive in the "save file as" window and export to the drive. When I tried this yesterday with the new install all was fine until the "save file as" window came up. My thumb drive cannot be found and the actual window is different. Instead of seeing "Places" on the left side of the window I just see "Computer" and my "Usr". This only happens when i attempt to export from CQRLOG, other times when I save something the normal "save file as" window comes up. My thumb drive appears under "Devices" as it should. This is not happening on a different computer with the older version 2.4.0 (001) using Mint 20 Mate. The normal "save file" as window comes up and the thumb drive is available. I was finally able to by saving it to my desktop and the dragging it into my thumb drive but that's not the way it should be done.
Any help?

Hi Bill!
As Linux does not have drives by letters like Windoze everything can be found under the filesystem root "/"
In ADIF export you have "Computer" and pressing that you see filesystem root folder, the "/"
From there you can navigate to any mounted drive or device.
Open your favorite file browser and from there open your thumb drive.
In my Fedora adding an USB stick or external drive it asks "select what you want to do"" and only selection is "open in file browser".
When I say OK file browser opens. In my Linux USB stick mounts under path "run/media/saku" (last folder name from username)
Note the file path to your thumb drive, you should see it there. Use same path for ADIF export.

Saku,
Thank you once again for the help! I found the drive but it's interesting that in previous versions of Mint and CQRLOG it was found more easily.
