The File dialogs don't work for me for some reason. File->Open File shows nothing. Save, whatever, no dialogs ever appear. Cura 4 works fine.

Edit: Now that I think about it, I don't think it worked in Ubuntu with Cura 5 either so I should probably talk to the Cura folks.

Yeah, thanks for the heads-up. I just noticed I pasted the wrong issue. The AppImage stats fine for me.

I was referring to this issue: https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/issues/11874

https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/issues/11856

this issue is still present. Adding LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 allows cura to start.

For everyone stumbling upon this: The current AppImage has a bug that - under certain circumstances - makes it impossible to save sliced objects to gcode because the save dialog simply does not pop up.

The PKGBUILD and patches/files here on the AUR are absolutely fine and are not the root cause of this issue!

All bug reports regarding this issue are closed and linked to https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/issues/11856 which describes a similar issue with the beta version of Cura 5.

I half-heartedly tried some of the suggestions to circumvent the problem but it didn't help: Saving (and opening except from drag-and-drop or directly via double click from the file browser) is simply not possible and Cura 5 therefore pretty much useless.

If you control your printer via OctoPrint maybe add the OctoPrint plugin and directly send the gcode via the plugin without saving the file locally.

The 4.13.1 AppImage does not have this problem.

Fortunately you can run multiple Cura versions ins parallel, so just "manually" use the 4.13.1 AppImage while keeping this AUR package installed till upstream fixes the 5.x.x AppImage

Hi, it looks like you bumped the version yet again, but the bug still persists!!! The fix still works. Could you please please please fix this?

Hi, it looks like you bumped the version, but this bug still persists. My fix below still works.

cura fails to open files with spaces again. It's just a quoting error, and the following change fixes it.

Here you go! Dont be cruel to my Babe xD Thanks for your support.

@Stephanwe, I would be happy to take over this responsibility :)

Thanks gmy! Do you want to be the maintainer of this package? Since I switched to SuperSlicer and PrusaSlicer I am more into that. I would transfer it, if you want. Regards
