Thanks for the walk through and the screenshots. I'll continue trying to
figure out what's going on. That's very puzzling. Are you running in a KDE
Plasma desktop or something else? Do you use any other KDE or Qt
applications that might have similar issues?

The Arch package for tellico is listing qt6 as a dependency, so I have to

That's probably the case. You can also go to the "About Tellico" menu item
in help to check.

If you don't mind running something from the command line, the output from

qtpaths --paths AppDataLocation

might be helpful. The first location (section before the ':') is where
Tellico should be saving the common app location.

Thanks,
