<p>I appreciate the reply. </p>
<p>So... I figured out how to open the local '~/books.tc' file. You
have to install 'flatseal' (through flatpak) and run that.
Navigate to 'Tellico' on the left hand side and, on the right hand
side, scroll down to 'Filesystem.' Under that section, you have to
enable 'All user files.' The filename shown in the title bar is
still '/run/user/1000/doc/3368708ba/books.tc' but the program is
actually able to open and operate on the local file. I verified
this by opening, changing, and saving the local file. The
'modified' date was updated to reflect today's date, so... </p>
<p>I hope that helps someone.... </p>

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">I am sure I have asked this before, but I cannot find anywhere where I kept the solution. I had to "upgrade" to Ubuntu 24.04 and when I did, I reinstalled the flatpak version of tellico and copied the ~/.var/app/org.kde.tellico directory from the old system to the new one. tellico is telling me that it cannot open ~/albums.tc; ~/movies.tc or ~/books.tc using the Open Recent dialog even though those files exist. If I navigate directly to the file itself using Open - the exact same file - it opens just fine, but the title bar shows the filename as /run/user/doc/eb480a2d/books.tc instead of ~/books.tc
Since the Open Recent filename is shown as ~/books.tc, I know that I had the answer to this at one time. Any chance of a reminder?

Flatpak remains something of a mystery to me, how it's sandboxed
and<br>
so on. Various reports about missing images, weird paths, and so
on<br>
have been vexing. If you do figure out how to fix the mount path<br>
question in the run directory, I'd love to know too! Sorry I
can't<br>
help further.<br>
