When trying to export a map to an SVG or PNG, follwing error appears:

Export Failed
Path Error: unable to determine base dir path

This happens on the Appimage version under Arch Linux

A while back, another user had an issue, related to their XDG dirs. Would you mind sharing your config? By default it should be in ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs, but it could be elsewhere if XDG_CONFIG_HOME is set

[nabakolu]

XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/"
XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/Downloads"
XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/"
XDG_PUBLICSHARE_DIR="$HOME/"
XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME/"
XDG_MUSIC_DIR="$HOME/Music"
XDG_PICTURES_DIR="$HOME/"
XDG_VIDEOS_DIR="$HOME/"

Could you try setting your XDG_PICTURES_DIR to a value other than your home dir? For some reason, that fixed the issue for someone else

[nabakolu]

Yea setting that to something different works

That's very weird. I'm going to do a major version upgrade of the library that handles all the OS io stuff, hopefully that fixes it. So, I won't investigate this further for now, but I'll keep the issue open so I remember to investigate again after the upgrade
