Description Glenn 2016-11-29 02:15:13 UTC
Just installed the new release of openSuse 42.2 running XFCE desktop. Never had any problems with Kolourpaint before. I'm a longtime user and fan of this software. Creating a document and pressing SAVE, results in an error message, "Could not save as test.jpeg" with test.jpeg the name and format I chose. Suggestions to fix this? BTW, I do have write permissions to the target media, am not having write problems with other applications. Thanks in advance.

There is another bug report regarding the save dialog on XFCE.
Would it be possible to just test it on KDE, please ?
I'm just curious if that has to do with the desktop integration.

Thanks for looking into this.
I loaded the current version of KDE desktop. 
KolourPaint will save files in KDE. 

I also loaded the current version of Gnome and Kolourpaint will NOT save files
in that desktop. Hope this helps. Best regards. Thanks for a great
little application.

It seems there are simply some packages missing from your installation.
The other bug report was about Debian/Xfce where I could easily solve the problem
by installing the kinit and the kio packages from KDE.

Please make sure you have these.

What I was seeing on Debian were error messages when I started kolourpaint from a terminal window, like "could not find kdeinit5 executable" and after installing kinit I still got messages like "... Unknown protocol 'file'"
