#

are you calling the path to the executable with Exec=

#

if you don't specify the path to it, it might not be valid

#

it could be the case that your non interactive shell has a different path than your interactive shell, from this issue here

#

did you change the location for XDG_DATA_HOME

#

echo $XDG_DATA_HOME

#

do you use bash shell normally or something else

#

idk what zsh4humans is but I use zsh

#

and I changed my $XDG_DATA_HOME to be in ~/.config/local/share

#

oh

#

that's okay because the default specs, if the distro maintainers follow best practice, it should default to .local/share

#

no don't change it lol

#

or maybe if you do specify .local/share

#

in your .zshenv or .zshrc

#

depending how you got your zsh set up

#

that's weird, your issue might be because of a different path between zsh and bash
