Cannot save project #8

Closed BenPalethorpe closed 1 year ago

BenPalethorpe commented 1 year ago

Hi, I installed GElectrical on RPi4 using Snap. I can create schematics and I can export files (network.json, report.pdf, network.html etc) successfully. But when I try and save a project nothing happens.

I tried to run the application from a Terminal (rather than the drop down start menu) to see if made any difference. I still have the same issue but in this case I can see some error messages that might help diagnose -

The first warning (mkdir) is when the program starts. The second warning (GtK) is when I try to save the project.

Do you have any idea what I can do to make it save correctly?

Thanks for your help. Ben

Can you try after installing these packages xdg-desktop-portal and xdg-desktop-portal-gnome (or xdg-desktop-portal-kde if you are using KDE or xdg-desktop-portal-gtk if you are using some other DE).

Hi, That worked perfectly! I can save and load projects now

Thank you!
