I wanted to go back to AppImage version 4.0.4 and now receive the following message. I'm now on flatpak. That's working.

Error:

Same

[RagnarRoeck]

having this since 4.0.5

[stefan-franz]

Same here on Linux Mint 22.3
Appimage 4.0.4 is the last working version

[memo-567]

I wanted to go back to AppImage version 4.0.4 and now receive the following message. I'm now on flatpak. That's working.

Same behavior here, but after removing everything Nextcloud related on my client and started from the scratch, 4.0.4 app image works again.

[ldericher]

Same here on an Ubuntu Jammy (22.04), everything up until 4.0.4 works. I also strongly prefer the AppImage version over deb/snap/flatpak.

[MiZoG99]

I'm getting the same error message about client not being able to move configuration from ~/.local/share to ~/.config and failed fallback move of my remote server log on LMDE 7 (Debian 12).
4.0.6 appimage fails to start even when I completely remove any nextcloud configuration folder, cache etc.
Curiously this is not happening on Mint 22.3 or on a Debian 11 installation with same appimage!
