PCmanFM won't launch directories

If I try and open a folder using for example the media folder won't open. If I use Rox, it works fine. What do I need to do to get pcmanfm to open folders properly?

I'm using Zorin Lite 9 with pcmanfm 1.2.0

Code:
pcmanfm /media

Try this
Code:
pcmanfm ~/media

or this
Code:
pcmanfm ./media

or this
Code:
pcmanfm media


When you are referencing a location of a folder or file, starting with "/" means the System root, which you likely don't have a media folder located at your system root, but you may have one in your home directory. The "~/" means check in your home directory, the "./" means check in your current directory, And if you try without anything in the front, it says to look in your PATH, however most programs that are written to expect file or folder locations will most likely default to "./" for you.

Hope this helps!
