Weird - must be a common glitch on your's and abrogard's setups.

And if it comes and goes, that's even weirder.

Have you tried Safe Mode?

all kinds of files in the folder. It is a subfolder in my windows 'downloads' folder. I create them from time to time and shunt all the downloads off into them to clear a space.

so there's everything/anything in there.

p.s. the problem comes before any question of file types. the system won't allow that folder name into the selected file field.

Or any folder name. I should make that clear. It's any folder. I can't get it to accept a 'single folder' add books thing.

FWIW I don't use the Add Books dialogues, I prefer using File Explorer->Send To to add books.
