Bottles/flatpak on Artix: cannot select/run executable files

[stamasd]

I just installed the Bottles flatpak on Artix (Arch derivative without systemd).
Previously, I used the same Bottles flatpak on a different distribution (Funtoo) and did not have this problem. I came back to Bottles after changing distribution because I previously had a very good experience with it with basically no problems.
I made a default 64-bit bottle with compatibility settings for win10. Then tried to run a binary installer in it.
Clicking on "run executable" opens the file chooser window, which presents me with two predefined locations: my home folder, and Desktop. It does not show me any subfolders or files present on the desktop, and inside my home folder it shows me no files and only 2 folders: .var and .local And inside those it again shows me no files. That is regardless of whether I choose "compatible executables" or "all files".
Moreover, if I place a Windows .exe file either directly on the desktop, directly in the root of my home folder or either in ~/.var or ~/.local, it will not show it to me and let me choose it - again, even if "all files" is selected.
Thus, I cannot select any executables to run.
My DE is XFCE4 if that matters. I used the same in Funtoo with the Bottles flatpak and did not have this problem.

Hm, okay. I'm able to run executables only from within the folder where the emulated drive C is. It's funny, previously I was able to run binaries from any location.
