Error message from Windows

I installed the brand new Kexi 3.1 preview on Windows 10 and tried to open old files from Kexi 2.8 for Linux. Everything I have tried works good, except opening and editing forms. There I get the error: Could not load Kexi Form Widgets plugin file and the path to the file.
As you can see from the attached image the file is there. I use a localized version of Windows where the Program files folder has a localized name.
If I click OK on the error, sometimes a 100 times, sometimes only three times, the form works and I do not seem to miss any functionality.

I have previously tried the Kexi appimage from may 2017 on Peppermint Linux (Ubuntu 16.04) and recieved exactly the same error message there. I will try to attach an image of that as well.

Thanks for reporting. This is a package error and has been fixed in March 12 version. Please re-download and install from https://community.kde.org/Kexi/Releases#3.1.0.

(previous versions are kept in https://community.kde.org/Kexi/Releases/Windows/3.1.0)

For the record: Linux AppImages are no longer offered since then. We hope they will be back BUT looking for a support because this is *very* costly *additional* work.

In case of Linux / AppImage: you can try installing a Qt5WebKit package in your host system and restart KEXI.
