Linux: Unable to select hollow knight path when hollow knight is saved on different hard drive #186

Closed Will-J-Gale closed 1 year ago

Will-J-Gale commented 1 year ago

Scarab Version

v2.1.0.0

Hollow Knight Version

v1.6.1.3

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Install hollow knight onto a different hard drive.
  2. Run Scarab
  3. A popup appears saying something like "Cannot find installation of hollow knight"
  4. It brings a popup allowing you to select the installation location.
  5. Find the hollow knight installation
  6. The bug: You cannot actually select a folder, you can only select files. Selecting the folder only opens it in the select window, it does not actually select it as the installation path. You can select a file, and doing so just gives an error saying it's not the hollow knight path.

I moved hollow knight back to the main hard drive using Steam's move function (/home//.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/HollowKnight) and Scarab found the installation immediatly.

The issue just seems to be not being able to select folders when manually selecting the hollow knight installation folder

Expected Behaviour

You should be able to select a folder, but it seems only files can be selected

Actual Behaviour

Selecting the correct folder only opens the contents of the folder, it does not actually select the folder.

If the application launched, there should be logs - are you sure the folder wasn't created?

Will-J-Gale commented 1 year ago

Yes I managed to find the logs, I've updated my initial comment with a link to the logs

What does the selection menu look like for you? It should look like this image

Mine does not have the select button, only open. Clicking open on the Hollow Knight folder doesn't select it, it just opens the folder to show it's contents. There doesn't seem to be a way to actually select a path manually.

For reference I'm using Ubuntu 20.04.

Believe I've found the issue - https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia/issues/10320, so I'm working on some stuff to work around it for now.

Note: You can do a workaround for this by creating a symbolic link to the folder into your root directory :) ln /path/to/Hollow\ Knight ~/Hollow\ Knight And then selecting that
