I have a strange problem on one of my computer (not the second where manuskript works like a charm with the same distro and desktop envrionnement (LMDE4 - Cinnamon or Mate)

When I run manuskript as normal user, launching it via applications menu or from command line in terminal the image in the button are not present

When I run Manuskript via snap or as sudoer, it works normally

(I remove and clean /bin/share/manuskript and ~/.config/manuskript Bad behaviour image Good bahaviour (running with sudo or snap) image

First of all: Don't run an application like manuskript with sudo. ^^'

Second: I assume this could be morely a problem with Qt on your system. For example maybe some libraries or configs from Qt are installed so that they can only be accessed with root-user permissions. The snap-installation is completely inside a container with all necessary dependencies correctly installed. That's probably the reason your snap will just work fine.

So I can only recommend using the snap or something similar (flatpak or AppImage) for now. But in long term you can try to figure out how to fix your system. I hope this helps.
