Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The app is not really working on Android > 10 since the app can't access most folders that were available on previous Android versions.

Describe the solution you'd like
It's not the solution I'd like, rather the only one that seems to be possible. According to the table on this page the only way to access files on current and future Android versions is by using the system file chooser to get access to either a single file or a specific directory.

So the app would have to be rewritten to use the system file chooser instead of the embedded one. Since the file chooser might not have all features in previous Android versions, the embedded file chooser should still be provided in case of Android < 10.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I was unable to find any real alternatives.

Hi @soredake could you describe this a bit more, preferably in a new issue?
I can't really tell if the app is not showing up in the list or crashing when opening and I also need to know what kind of file you are trying to open.

Thanks for the screencap.
I'll look into it later today, in the meantime you can try closing the app completely and restarting it before selecting a file as a workaround.

Ah yes, the app can't write into the downloads folder in current Android versions.
Try using /storage/emulated/0/Documents I am able to use this folder on the emulator after confirming storage permissions.
