then the directory does not appear in the menu

Which menu do you mean? Favorites? Recent? Maybe a screenshot could also help here.

The main menu, next to the blender logo, File > Open.

I managed to find the menus and the directories back with following command : File > Defaults > Load Factory Settings. This with the latest version : blender-3.0..0-alpha+master.d6b1d35bf874-linux.x86_64-release. For the precedent releases this did not work or work well. Of course I lost a lot of the addons I had installed. But after restarting again no directory.

I guess that of the one of the addons I added corrupted the directory in Blender. Which one? Difficult to guess? But the fact that a version of Blender is made for Microsoft this may also led to an incompatibility in Linux. It would not be the first time that this happens.

I found why the directory does not come up! It appears only minutes later, when the Assets Icons appear, then the directory and access to files and folders work. Compare the two dumpscreens!

Sorry this took a bit to answer.

So this issue only happens when there is an Asset Browser open as well?
Does it get quick again if the Asset browser is closed?

It is because of the Asset Browser, but now there is another problem with the latest version of Blender3D on Ubuntu, I can no more launch the program.

@JulianEisel: should this be an issue?
Having an Asset Browser open that is under heavy load should not neccessarily block another Filebrowser from reading folder contents?

This shouldn't happen, but I'm not too surprised that it does.

Can the bug description be updated so that it's a bit clearer? Right now it's unclear which menu is being referred to, or how exactly to reproduce or how it relates to the asset browser.

Julian Eisel changed title from ~~When opening a file or import a file, the directory does not shown up in the menu~~ to Files don't appear in File Browser while Asset Browser loads assets

I'm not sure if this is easy to fix. But either way, it will be addressed with #95653. So I'd prioritize that over spending time on fixing just this issue. So marking this as known issue.
