Crash on ArchLinux

[Lukasz Michalski]

Version 2.1

Just after starting:

System.UriFormatException: Invalid URI: The URI is empty.
   at System.Uri.CreateThis(String uri, Boolean dontEscape, UriKind uriKind, UriCreationOptions& creationOptions)
   at System.Uri..ctor(String uriString)
   at GLib.FileAdapter.get_Uri()
   at Pinta.MainWindow.LoadUserSettings()
   at Pinta.MainWindow.OnActivated()
   at GLib.Application.Activated_cb(IntPtr inst)

And then after creating new Image:

System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.
 ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
   at Pinta.Core.BaseTool.SetCursor(Cursor cursor)
   at Pinta.Core.BaseTool.<.ctor>b__14_0(Object _, EventArgs _)
   at Pinta.Core.WorkspaceManager.OnActiveDocumentChanged(EventArgs e)
   at Pinta.Core.WorkspaceManager.SetActiveDocumentInternal(Document document)
   at Pinta.Core.WindowActions.<.ctor>b__11_0(Object o, ActivatedArgs e)
   at InvokeStub_ActivatedHandler.Invoke(Object, Object, IntPtr*)
   at System.Reflection.MethodInvoker.Invoke(Object obj, IntPtr* args, BindingFlags invokeAttr)
   --- End of inner exception stack trace ---
   at System.Reflection.MethodInvoker.Invoke(Object obj, IntPtr* args, BindingFlags invokeAttr)
   at System.Reflection.RuntimeMethodInfo.Invoke(Object obj, BindingFlags invokeAttr, Binder binder, Object[] parameters, CultureInfo culture)
   at System.Delegate.DynamicInvokeImpl(Object[] args)

I removed ~/.config/Pinta, restarted app. No effect. Same issue here:

This sounds like bug 2002188 - could you check out if that fix works for you?
(Either by compiling from git or running the build from https://github.com/PintaProject/Pinta/actions/runs/3863584745 (requires GitHub login to download))

Many thanks, It's the same bug. For workaround pinta works when run this way from terminal:

[zork@archdevel ~]$ XDG_PICTURES_DIR=/tmp pinta

[Cameron White (cameronwhite91)]

Great, thanks for confirming!
