Describe the bug

In Filen Windows desktop, when a removable drive with a sync job is not present, the .filenignore Edit window does not function for ANY sync job, INCLUDING those on the normal fixed drive.

To Reproduce

  1. Launch Filen Windows Desktop App.
  2. Create a Filen sync job for a folder on a flash drive or mounted drive.
  3. Under 'Settings', click on .filenignore and the popup window appears with the first line coloured pale blue.
  4. Edit that as as needed. All works as expected. See 'expected' screenshot with pale blue line.
  5. Exit App and relaunch it. Editing of .filenignore still works as expected.
  6. Exit App and remove the flash drive or unmount the mounted drive.
  7. Relaunch the App without the flash drive or mounted drive present.
  8. For ANY sync job at all NOT on the removable drive, click on Settings and then .filenignore
  9. The .filenignore window opens and the pale blue stripe and the existing listings can be seen.
  10. After about 7 seconds or so, the blue stripe and the listings disappear, leaving just an empty window with no horizontal blue stripe. See 'unexpected' screenshot without pale blue line and now with no content at all.
  11. Left or Right clicking in the empty window gets no response and it will not allow any typing into it.
  12. Close the window and click on .filenignore again, it just opens the empty window with no horizontal blue stripe.
  13. Again, Left or Right clicking in the empty window gets no response and it will not allow any typing into it.
  14. Repeat Step 8 above on ANY other sync job. Observations 9, 10, 11, 12, & 13 above are found to be the same for that sync job.
  15. If an attempt is made to do a very quick edit, adding and saving another item to the .filenignore list during the approx 7 seconds that the .filenignore is editable, it doesn't "take" - see Step 16 below
  16. Exit the Filen App, wait 20 seconds and then relaunch it, then carry out Step 8 again. Again, observations 9, 10, 11, 12, & 13 above are found to be the same for that sync job. Also, any quick edits attempted in Step 15 do not appear at Step 9
  17. Exit App, insert removable drive or mount mountable drive, Relaunch App.
  18. Editing of .filenignore for all sync jobs on the normal fixed drive returns to working as expected.

Expected behavior

After 1 to 9 above, at 10, for sync jobs on the normal fixed drive (that is, NOT on the absent removable drive) .filenignore can be edited without issue.

This is with Filen V3.0.47.
Behaviour first observed with V3.0.41.
Did not check any earlier versions.
