What happened?

I tried storing my barrier config file in my home directory and in such format: ~/.barrier.conf and upon loading the config via GUI it entered an endless loop of modal screens telling me the config file is wrong (I had to kill it from cmdline). It works fine if I store it in ~/.config/barrier.conf.

Also, you cannot view hidden folders in the regular QT GUI on Linux (I had to enter the hidden folder in the text input window next to the "Browse" button).

Version

v2.4.0

Git commit hash (if applicable)

No response

If applicable, where did you install Barrier from?

AUR
