Couldn't simplify path error on Linux startup #238

Hello! Downloading and compiling a fresh install on Linux (Ubuntu 22.04 LTS/Xfce) gives an error on startup, though this error is ignored and everything else seems to start up ok:

./cap32
Using configuration file: /home/dave/Development/cpc/caprice32/cap32.cfg
INFO    src/psg.cpp:731 - Timing: CPC.speed: 4 - freq: 44100

ERROR   src/gui/src/CapriceLoadSave.cpp:286 - Couldn't simplify path '/home/dave/Development/cpc/caprice32/disk/': No such file or directory

Creating the disk directory at the top level (this is not created by the makefile btw) ensures everything is ticketyboo and no error occurs on startup.

What do you call a fresh install? Do you use a package? Do you run make install? Do you clone git repo, run make and run cap32 from there?
