Permission denied / crash - subtitleedit

I've installed this package from AUR with trizen but when I launch it this is what gets logged:

$ subtitleedit subs.srt

The dir "/opt/subtitleedit/Waveforms" does not exist and should be automatically created by the application on the first run.
If I create it it will crash again this time saying "/opt/subtitleedit/Spectrograms" does not exist.
And if I create that one the program doesn't crash but also doesn't work properly (when I try to open the Settings the program spits out a big error window saying it cannot access 'error_log.txt').

Since nobody in the AUR package comments complained about this I assume its only happening on my end and I'm posting this here.

Re: Permission denied / crash - subtitleedit

Is your filesystem BTRFS?

What if you run it manually using the all-in-one standalone release via mono?

Re: Permission denied / crash - subtitleedit

File system is ext4

running mono on the standalone release behaves like expected with no issues

$ pwd
/home/vega/SE368
$ mono SubtitleEdit.exe

(mono:249035): Gtk-WARNING **: 21:04:59.205: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "adwaita",

(mono:249035): Gtk-WARNING **: 21:04:59.208: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "adwaita",

(mono:249035): Gtk-WARNING **: 21:04:59.208: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "adwaita",
/home/vega/.themes/Minwaita-Vanilla-Dark/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:21: Unable to find include file: "hacks-dark.rc"

Program runs as expected and automaticaly creates those missing directories/files refered earlier.

I believe the question is how can I solve this permission problem in the OP when the program is ran from the /opt/subtitleedit dir? AFAIK it is the only one with this issue.

let me know what more info you need.

Re: Permission denied / crash - subtitleedit

Other better experts here in the forum maybe could help you. At this point I couldn't help you no more, sorry.

Anyway... Slippery-slop situation here, since you might need to investigate in various fields (mono bug? SubtitleEdit bug?)... Maybe start by asking for help at the AUR maintainer directly.
