I am waiting for V6 to be compiled and available in the openSUSE 
Tumbleweed repositories rather than having to compile it or use the 
appimage.

I know this problem does not make sense but the same error happens on 
any album I try to refresh which exists on this partition.

I have another partition with other albums on it and a refresh on that 
does not show any error, however that partition is an NTFS formatted one 
which used to be shared with a now defunct windows system.
