LocalSend fully broken on Plasma 6.1

[Jason-Keller]

Describe the bug

Today Plasma 6.1 came out for KDE Neon and other Linux distros that use KDE as a desktop. This is not urgent at all, because this update dropped today, but I wanted to report that LocalSend does not work at all on Plasma 6.1

As you can see, when I open LocalSend on KDE Plasma 6.1 it instantly stops responding and locks up.

To reproduce

1. Install the new KDE Plasma 6.1 desktop (for many KDE users this is coming down the pike I think)
2. Launch LocalSend

Expected behavior

LocalSend to launch without issue so I can resume sharing.

Additional context

I hope this bug reports is in the right place as I've never filed one. I wanted to thank the devs of LocalSend again for such an awesome, incredibly cool program on Linux!!!

Might be something related with GTK but this seems like a Flutter issue that we (LocalSend) cannot fix.

Darn. Well, here's hoping a fix does come through in some way. I really enjoy using this app, and you are an awesome dev for making it FOSS and available on Linux. Cheers anyway!!!

Hey! I just wanted to update this. I have LocalSend working with the AppImage version on Plasma 6.1 (after using the AppImageLauncher, a separate program for properly installing AppImages). I haven't tested other versions of LocalSend, but this one works!

I'm leaving this here in case others have the same issue:

• AppImage seems to work for now on Plasma 6.1
• The FlatHub install for Linux on Plasma 6.1 does not, so if you're on Plasma 6.1 and you can't get the FlatHub install on the website working, try the AppImage or .deb!

Cheers again to the dev team. I missed being able to transfer my files between my devices like this!
