Always open with Startup Wizard - Fedora 30 / Flatpak

[Sprintdriver]

Hi.

Have installed XnView MP onto a computer running Fedora 30, x64, Cinnamon.

Whenever I start XnView MP, the Startup Wizard dialog opens first. This happens if I open the program via menu and also if I open XnView from file explorer (double click on a jpg file for example).

The full command from launcher (aka. start menu) is:
/usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=xnview --file-forwarding com.xnview.XnViewMP @@ %F @@

Is there any settings I can do in order to prevent this menu opening up every time XnViewer MP opens ?

if you start it from shell console, no problem?

Thing is - I'd used the "ln -s" command to redirect the /home/sprintrdriver/.var/app/com.xnview.XnViewMP to some folder in the /var directory (simply because I have a separate partition for /var that has plenty of space) - not realizing all the flatpak apps are running in a sandbox environment, not supposed to have access to /var.

I didn't realized it before now.[edit]

No - it was something else. I was wrong. I tested this, and renamed the folder .var in homedir to something else, so that XnViewMP created the directory over again. So I expected the problem to be solved, but no. I still get this dialog box every start - and also XnVIewMP seems unable to save ANY settings.

Update:

I installed Fedora 30 Mate on another computer. Then I installed XnView MP flatpak - didn't touch anything else. Seems to work properly now, so maybe I just did something wrong during or after installing on the other computer (Fedora 30 Cinnamon)

[Sprintdriver]

Went back to the other computer that run Fedora 30 Cinnamon.

I uninstalled XnVIew (flatpak).
Then I removed the .var folder in my home dir.
Then I installed XnView again.

And the problem still persists. That is - it seems like the flatpak variant of XnVIew runs just fine on Fedora 30 Mate, but not on Fedora 30 Cinnamon


Edit
The appimage version of XnViewMP works without any problems on Fedora 30 Cinnamon, I use that as it works for me
