"Open Folder" and "Edit Manually" buttons only work with ~/.config

[rfrench3]

The new functionality added in v2.4.0 using the XDG Desktop Portals will fail if the user's home config folder is not the default ~/.config folder. I am using the implementation of the portal found in xdg-portal-test-kde, which I ported from C++ to PySide6 and then tweaked to call OpenFile instead of OpenURI.

As it is now, my PySide6 version does not work with flatpak sandbox paths (I do not know if the C++ version would), and the path string needs to be manually edited to match the correct config folder on the host.

I am simply replacing the ".var/app/... .../config" section of the string with ".config" to get it working for now, and will hopefully get a better solution out in the future. This problem does not affect the rest of the application.

I've forked your repo and I'm working on some stuff in it. Meanwhile, try this to fix this particular issue:

from platformdirs import user_config_path
from pathlib import Path

SCB_DIR : str = user_config_path("scopebuddy")
APPID_DIR:str = os.path.join(SCB_DIR, "AppID")
GLOBAL_CONFIG:str = SCB_DIR / "scb.conf"

This should correctly get the config directory regardless of flatpak
