The result of changing the resource folder and the 2 errors which occur after the restart

SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  In Configure Krita->General->Resources select a new empty resource folder by clicking on the button
2.  Allow Krita access to files when prompted
3.  Restart Krita

OBSERVED RESULT
After the restart Krita fails to launch. It shows two errors: 1 almost immediately and the next one after several minutes (see screenshots). After the second error the application exits. The only way to make Krita start again I could find was to delete the application data through Android settings (hence critical severity) 

EXPECTED RESULT
Krita should initialize and use the the newly set resource folder 

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Android 12

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Tested on the tablet Samsung S6 Lite

From Krita 5.1.4 (to be release this week), this will be disabled on Android.
