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

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