Greetings,
When I have an item like "flatpak run org.gimp.GIMP//beta", the menu never executes them.
No error, ti just does not execute flatpak apps.

  1. Open the editor by using the tray icon
  2. Create a menu item with a flatpak app to execute
  3. call up kando menu and try to execute the item.
    ...

Hi there! I cannot reproduce this on my end. Flatpaks just run fine for me. There used to be #552, but this is fixed now.

Have you tried running Kando from a terminal? Maybe some error is printed there?

I ran it from the command line and thee's no error when I run a flatpak app. It just doesn't launch.

I tried this now even with the beta GIMP build and it just works fine for me. So I think it's a configuration issue of your system which will be very hard to debug. I would suggest the following:

  1. Run env in the terminal where the command works, copy the output to somewhere.
  2. Add a Run Command item to Kando and make it open a terminal. For instance xterm.
  3. Execute this action to open the terminal.
  4. Try to run the flatpak from in there. It should fail.
  5. Run env in the new terminal and compare the output to the output from the first terminal. Figure out the exact details. If there's any path different, it could make the flatpak fail.
