I’m using the new version of Codex (26.721.31836) on macOS. Since this update, I’ve been unable to select a new local folder as a project in the Codex app.
You are welcome to discuss Codex issues on the forum, however the official place to report and track them is the GitHub issue tracker for OpenAI Codex.
I had ChatGPT look for the closest related issue and it identified:
If that issue matches your problem, consider adding a reaction on the GitHub issue page itself, not just on the forum topic, as reactions on GitHub help the developers gauge impact and prioritize work.
If it is not the same issue, try searching the existing GitHub issues for a closer match. If you cannot find one, then open a new issue with as much detail as possible.
