Components Browser ignores local folder in Settings

Settings: Files/Components to a local folder results in a blank Components dialog.

I’ve had this issue for a long time where I have to load a local collection from the dialog itself and every time Sketchup is restarted or after a crash I have to load it again.

What’s the point of having a setting in Settings for file location?

I have a similar issue with Materials.

Seems like my only option is to copy my Components and Materials libraries to the default location and make sure I make copies before upgrading to new versions of Sketchup. This seems like a bug to me but I trashed my Sketchup install completely (saving a copy) and completely reinstalled Sketchup to see if it helped.

Same issues persist

Any ideas?
