Choose folder/ files button doesn't work

[Biasio]

Ciao! I have installed your program in linux with the dev instructions, because the release page file is not working for me, in terminal it says: Language detected: en Segmentation fault (core dumped) after executing it. With dev instructions I'm able to start main.py and the dark mode button works just fine, but for the next one (choose folder etc) doesn't open any window. Maybe I have done something wrong? I'm on Pop_OS! 22.04 if it helps. Thank you for your time

Hi @Biasio and thanks for your interest in this project. A couple of things come to mind:

1. have you installed the libmediainfo-dev package with apt? By the way, if it has changed with Ubuntu 22.04 let me know and I'll update the README, right now it's for 20.04
2. since you can run the main.py script from the terminal, would you be so kind as to comment with the Python traceback?

@Biasio Here's what I've found so far:

• implicit requirements to develop on Linux (Ubuntu 22.04) include gcc and libxcb-xinerama0 -- I'll see if I can find a way to include the latter inside the executable
• the traceback that you are (probably) seeing is the following and is due to using the wrong Python version (3.10, while the expected one is 3.9) -- I will look into making it compatible with 3.10:

Language detected: en

This doesn't yet answer why the executable crashes since it bundles Python 3.9, so I will keep this issue open, but in the meantime you can use Python 3.9: https://askubuntu.com/a/682875
