From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hi. I recently published my app on Flathub and have been steadily updating it to make it better.

With it you can download Music from Youtube and tag it to create a beautiful collection of local Music. Check it out: https://flathub.org/apps/net.fhannenheim.musicfetch

I tried the new version of the app (1.3.1) and it works a little better. As mentioned in my other comment, the app tries by default to write to my home directory, which fails. However, if I manually tell the app to use ~/Downloads instead, then it works!

On the other hand, closing and relaunching the app again clears out what I've manually configured and it tries to write to my home directory again until I change it every time.

(Also, apologies, I should be reporting to your issue tracker instead.)
