cura 5.0 and up have a problem with file links

[junker 0]

i've used cura appimages since version 3.3 on debian with no problems

it's really great

i've been using 4.13 for some time and thought it's time to upgrade

i downloaded 5.3.0 and it's works except for one thing

the directory where all of my 3d print files are located is a symbolic link in my home directory

 

~$ ls -l 3d_printer
lrwxrwxrwx 1 jb2 jb2 25 Dec 28  2020 3d_printer -> /od2/data/3d_printer/

 

cura can load and save files with no problem

but the location does not get updated in the cura.cfg

 

[local_file]
dialog_save_path =
dialog_profile_path = slicing-profiles-master/SE300/Cura
dialog_load_path =

 

i worked backwards in the versions and this stopped working in version 5.0

i'm hoping this is just a setting i'm overlooking

that does seem to be the same thing i'm seeing

i'll see if i can sign up on github

i think i'll have to stick with 4.13 anyway if i'm going to keep using cura

i also found that support blocker is not working in 5.*
