FlatPak FreeCAD 1.0 Error Loading (MXLinux)

[Seagasm]

Good morning, I have been using FreeCAD 1.0 AppImage and would prefer an installed program basically because when an update is available, I will be notified and the updated files will be installed. I downloaded FreeCAD 1.0 from the Flatpak installer but the program fails to start. I tried to start the FreeCAD 1.0 installation from the terminal and I get the following error:-

$ /usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=FreeCAD --file-forwarding org.freecad.FreeCAD - --single-instance @@ %F @@
F: Can't get document portal mount path

Because of this bit

During initialization the error "No module named 'PySide2'" occurred in /home/barry/.var/app/org.freecad.FreeCAD/data/FreeCAD/Mod/Help/./InitGui.py

I suspect the problem has to do with the Appimage and Flatpak using the same location (~/.var/app/org.freecad.FreeCAD/data/FreeCAD) for their config files. You see a new FreeCad Flatpak install doesn't have a Mod folder in that path.
Delete or move the /home/barry/.var/app/org.freecad.FreeCAD/ folder and FreeCad should start up.

Your a champion, I was not sure where to look, thank you

[Eadwine Rose]

Please, next time, post code like this: [code]code output here[/code]

Or you can select the code and tick the </> button (it's next to the quote)

Thanks.

"And in other news" - it looks like FreeCAD 1.0 is in Trixie.
