RE: Frescobaldi 3.3 - off topic?

[savage.laurie]

I had exactly the same problem on Ubuntu. I partly solved it by doing a complete uninstall -purge and installing from the files on F's site, then going through the rigmarole of fixing the various dependencies from the files the site links to. The recent files menu hasn't worked for me for a couple of years so I gave up on that.

For other reasons I moved to Fedora 38 and the default version of Frescobaldi is 3.3 and the recent files menu works. Fedora doesn't play so well with non-free multimedia codecs so it's swings and roundabouts. I realise moving systems isn't usually a realistic option, but I had good backups.

Subject: Frescobaldi 3.3 - off topic?

Greetings, all -

I've been using LilyPond with Frescobaldi under Linux/Ubuntu for years, and I really like the combination.

I've tried updating to Frescobaldi 3.3 a number of times, with sort of weird results. I've been running LilyPond 2.23.6 and Frescobaldi 3.2 under Ubuntu 22.04.2 and they work fine. When I go to Flatpak, it says that Frescobaldi 3.3 is installed, and I can click on "Open" and it does, but there is no history (e.g., sessions I've been using under 3.2). If I tell the desktop to add Frescobaldi to "Favorites", it does put the icon there, but if I click on the icon, I get 3.2. When I do a search for frescobaldi-3.3, there are no results. I followed the instructions from Flathub for doing an install via the terminal, but the results are the same. Flathub says 3.3 is installed.

Anyone else having similar problems? Anyone have suggestions for a solution? I would dearly love to have my previous saved sessions appear in 3.3, and have 3.3 be the default (I'm guessing I'll need to rename the frescobaldi-3.2 file).

All the best,

Ralph
