It’s like the desktop app wants me to pick a folder, but the dialog box only let’s be choose a file. Perhaps a bug?

This works fine on the mobile app.

yeah its a bug: https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-desktop/issues/1226

Its already fixed, but not released yet.

If you have arch you can get the newest ‘master’-branch version from Git via yay -S deltachat-desktop-git or you wait for the next release and

  • import a full backup from mobile, that contains also the key.
  • or do an autocrypt setup (send an autocrypt setup message from mobile)
