DM: 🙂️ Yeah, there's a bit of a learning curve to do a manual install,
but a good number of years back I decided it would be a net benefit to
learn how to do it. I made sure to keep notes (and adjust these as
needed for new versions / features, and installation methods) so that I
don't have to 're-learn' it every time I want to upgrade. In any case,
it looks like you've found a workable solution for now, and I guess
you'll just have to decide if you want to try for the optimal solution
of changing the back-end of the file-chooser to Dolphin, as some of the
latest posts on this thread have mentioned is possible. Regards,
