I know absolutely nothing about this software, but look at that QUrl in
the last line of the log. That looks entirely wrong to me. You said in
another message that the full path of the directory was
/home/gene/Pictures/Saw4Bruce so shouldn't the URL be
file:///home/gene/Pictures/Saw4Bruce/ ?
Unless the application is running chrooted at /home/gene/Pictures/ (which
strikes me as exceedingly unlikely), I don't see how that URL would ever
work.
So, my initial question would be why that URL is wrong. Is the application
being sent a relative directory path but interpreting it as an absolute
directory path? Something along those lines. You'll need to investigate
with people who actually know this software. Those people may or may not
be on debian-user.
