Picard album select not working

I have not been able to use picard for the past few months, as it appears there is an issue with the ablbum picker.
I have tried reinstalling and updating to no avail.

When i select add folder- it used to import all tracks from the folder, now it does nothing.
Interestingly- it appears the ‘picker’ graphics ( when i selct the folder like the file browser) is fifferent from what i recall, alsomst as if its using the wrong one or something.
any help is appreciated
