Any idea what causes this error? - Cannot write xmp file - Bad file descriptor (Win10 build 3.4.1.1)

[g-man]

The problem appears to be the selection through the pre-defined “Image” folder from Windows.
If I select a folder within the Windows Image folder to be imported to Darktable, I do get while importing the message: Cannot write xmp file “…”: Bad file descriptor.
However, if I add the location manually ( by clicking on the Plus symbol on the top of the folder pane and walk my way through the folders until I reach the images I want to import within the Windows Image folder), the xmp files are created and I can initiate to have these overriden if desired.

Can you describe better what is the “image” folder in windows. Is this the Libraries - Pictures? Maybe a print screen might be helpful to understand your problem.
