wrong directory names under Flatpak

[Derek Tombrello]

I appreciate the reply.

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...

I hope that helps someone....

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
