cant see file names in geany <File><open> was created by joekline9
on debian 10 buster linuxcnc 2.8. Geany editor, I see no file names only folders when I do <File><Open>.
If I do <File><Save As> I do see filenames.
I have reinstalled geany. done updates etc but no change.
I have it on 2 different machines with same problem.
Could it be GTK 3 problem?

In the lower left corner, above the "view", "cancel","open" there is a drop down menu, choose "all files".

"All Files" doesn't help. Someone else must be having this problem.
I have Debian 10 Buster on 3 different machines and have tried from 2 different
live usb sticks. all have the same problem.
I have Geany 1.33 on a Ubuntu 18 machine and it works OK but if I boot on the Live Buster usb the problem is there.

Yes it is mounted.
Yes I can browse it.
I can run Linuxcnc etc. Geany works but I dont see filename in <File><Open>
I only see folders. I can edit files from a browser or command line.

There is nothing on the net about such issue!
Try using the file browser, right click on a file you want to open then choose "open with" and geany, or if there is no geany choose "other application", then scroll till you find geany and click on it.

I tried to reproduce this issue but if I compile it myself it always works.
Looks like the native install uses GTK3 but the source compiles from GTK+2 and that's causing the issue maybe
So if you want a usable geany install you could just remove the OS install and compile it yourself from source this worked for me:

sudo apt install gtk+2.0 intltool pkg-config automake autoconf libtool
mkdir geany-dev && cd geany-dev
apt source geany
cd geany-1.33
./autogen.sh --disable-html-docs
make -j4 && sudo make install
