Public bug reported:

I try to open my folder ~/Videos inside Transmission, to read a .torrent file or save a torrent there, and I can't. It give me access denied error.
I can access ~/Downloads, and both folder have the same permission.
I also can access ~/Videos from Nautilus or from terminal normally.
