What's *supposed* to happen is the first time you do something (I forget exactly what, possibly just starting Rosegarden) you're supposed to get a local copy at the path referred to by the buttons. This *does* happen in unadulterated project source. I tested removing ~/.local/share, verifying that it was gone, then running Rosegarden, and all the local copies of the assorted data files came back. So I guess what's happening is you've broken our resource bundling system, and in the process you've broken the mechanism that was supposed to un-bundle a copy of these resources to the individual user's $HOME. So at a glance it looks like you can rewrite ResourceFinder::unbundleResource(), or you can do something like your first patch, and our OpenSUSE users (and Fedora too, it looks like) are all just going to have to experience a different Rosegarden from everyone else. Or maybe before it's over, all distros everywhere will force their package maintainers to hack apart our source and break our bundling system. I have to say this is one issue where I'm not willing to change the way the official project source works, and package maintainers will just have to do whatever they have to do to comply with their own requirements. I'm generally very amenable to working with all of you to try to make your life easier, but not this time. -- D.
