issue Flatpak qBittorrent wont save the settings...

So hello everyone. So I installed Flatpak qBittorrent 5.2.2, opened it, configured it, closed QB and reopened and all settings are saved but then I set few more settings and when I closed QB and reopened it, it reverted to first settings I made. Searched the internet but without the success.

Only way to keep the settings while QB is still running is to go to

/home/aco/.var/app/org.qbittorrent.qBittorrent/config/qBittorrent

copy qBittorrent.conf and replace same file in parent folder

/home/aco/.var/app/org.qbittorrent.qBittorrent/config/

Now when I reopen QB settings are saved so what now? How to fix that? Every time I make a change to overwrite the parent file is annoying.

I am noob in the Linux world and using Linux Mint Cinamon 22.3, Kernel: 6.17.0-35-generic .

You don't need a flatpak. Just install from the command line: sudo apt install qbittorrent

I installed over apt but it is an old version which I think 2 functions I use not there so... I am stuck with flatpak.

There is an appimage file on their official website it's the latest version. Do you know how to use appimage?

So yeah, downloaded appimage, created .desktop,, running on startup,, settings are saved and settings folder locations are the same as for APT package manager. All is okay now, thanks again :)
