I recently upgraded Thinderbird and now the Remove Duplicates add on wants me to specify a folder but doesn't seem to give any way to do so

I recently upgraded to 140.12.1. When I attempt to run the Remove Duplicate add on it hangs.

I suspect this is something to do with an additional menu item that now lists under Remove Duplicates Saying "Set original message folder(s) for next duplicate search". However when I select this, I get an error message from Remove Duplicates saying "Invalid choice of original message folders."

I have no idea where to set the folders, nor what to set them to..Can anyone help - it's an excellent add on which I use a lot.

The version of the add-on is 0.6.7, so not a finished product and expected to have some bugs.

You may want to search the developer's discussion forum or post a question there: https://github.com/eyalroz/removedupes/issues/
