Sudden issues with 8.1.0 on macOS 12.7.1

[Maik Qualmann]

No, not new collection, round circle-like tool button. You will first be asked 
whether you want to change the collection category, just accept. Then a folder 
selection opens, the same path of your existing collection should open here, 
just accept it.
