xlunch does not work when I login from another user #135

xlunch works fine from my personal user, (from which I installed xlunch) but when I log in from another user and launch xlunch, it does not work or open. I open it from the terminal and it doesn't give any message. I am on Arch Linux with Kernel 5.9.14

Regards

Have you had a look at the --input parameter? Xlunch defaults to read stdin if data is available there, otherwise it reads from $HOME/.config/xlunch/entries.dsv or /etc/xlunch/entries.dsv in that order. I'm guessing that the other users on your system have an empty entries.dsv file in $HOME/.config/xlunch/entries.dsv or that your user has $HOME/.config/xlunch/entries.dsv but /etc/xlunch/entries.dsv is empty.

I already managed to solve the problem using xlunch with the --multiple option
