[Bug] Selecting a folder to exclude freezes the settings

[Barraguesh]

Steps to reproduce: Go to settings, Advanced, in the exclusion section chose "Add", "Choose folder". After selecting one it freezes and no action can be performed, neither closing the settings nor the dialog. The app seems to be syncing and downloading the background without problem.

Distro: Fedora 35 GNOME.

Doesn't happen with upstream "rpm", switched to it meanwhile.

Same happening here.

Distro: Debian 12 GNOME

Also when trying to change default download or upload folder.

[johnny32]

Same here when trying to set a different path for the full syncing. It looks like it freezes whenever you change any of the default directories.

Distro: Fedora 39 KDE

Same here with Fedora 39 silverblue: trying to do anything that brings up the file picker completely freezes up megasync, rendering me unable to use selective sync since I cannot select a folder. I tried giving access to my entire home directory via flatseal, but to no avail

I can confirm with Linux Mint 21.3 Cinamon

Nothing? Anything at all? Nobody knows if this is an upstream issue or packaging issue?

[DenysMb]

It's a packaging issue, as the same doesn't happen in the non-Flatpak version.

But the maintainer says that it is a packaging issue (he said it here: #76 (comment)), so I think it will never be fixed until someone open a PR to fix this.

[loukamb]

It is entirely a packaging issue. The maintainer, however, does not know what causes it.

[jasongodev]

Just chiming in. I'm trying to look in this issue. I also experience this in Arch Linux.

[jasongodev]

I successfully made a new flatpak manifest that fixes a lot of packaging issues including this bug. Just waiting for the merge.

#94

@zunjack We already agreed that patch files are the way to go so no more regex in the future.
