Catfish not starting

Just updated Catfish TO 4.16.1 and it stopped working.

Terminal outputs this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/catfish", line 44, in <module>
    catfish.main()
  File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/catfish/__init__.py", line 78, in main
    window = CatfishWindow.CatfishWindow()
  File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/catfish_lib/Window.py", line 173, in __new__
    builder = get_builder(__builder__['ui_file'])
  File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/catfish_lib/helpers.py", line 87, in get_builder
    ui_filename = get_data_file('ui', '%s.ui' % (builder_file_name,))
  File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/catfish_lib/catfishconfig.py", line 50, in get_data_file
    return os.path.join(get_data_path(), *path_segments)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/catfish_lib/catfishconfig.py", line 67, in get_data_path
    raise project_path_not_found
catfish_lib.catfishconfig.project_path_not_found

Previous version works fine.

Re: Catfish not starting

It would be great if this bug was fixed soon. It is really annoying.

Re: Catfish not starting

Strange. I have the same version installed (pacman -Qi catfish). What can I do?

Re: Catfish not starting

Start your own thread, probably? Very different error, related to xfconf (and maybe dbus?), so might not be catfish, but your session/environment.

I see a German message there; run it with LC_MESSAGES=C or LC_ALL=C to get untranslated output for these boards or web searches.

Re: Catfish not starting

On my xfce4 catfish runs without any errors

also in the terminal

EDIT.
You can build yourself from AUR FSearch
which I use myself.

Re: Catfish not starting

My solution is to disable firejail for catfish. It works now. Maybe someone responsible for firejail can have a look at this. I have similar problems with Tor (Browser): https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=269370
