Describe the bug

configure.py opens turing, but when clicking on 'open themes folder' NO JOY

To Reproduce
(venv) bobf@BobF:~/Downloads/turing-smart-screen-python-main$ python3 configure.py

gio: file:///home/bobf/Downloads/turing-smart-screen-python-main/%22/home/bobf/Downloads/turing-smart-screen-python-main/res/themes%22: Error when getting information for file “/home/bobf/Downloads/turing-smart-screen-python-main/"/home/bobf/Downloads/turing-smart-screen-python-main/res/themes"”: No such file or directory

Expected behavior
Themes should open

Logs
log.log empty see above reproduce

Screenshots / photos of the Turing screen
None

Environment:

  • Smart screen model Turing 3.5”
  • Revision 3.9.7
  • OS with version uname -r 6.12.73+deb13-amd64
  • Python version 3.13.5-2
  • Hardware AMD 9800x3d NVidia rtx 5080 48GB MSI Pro870 wifi motherboard

Additional context
I'm not a script writer. I could not figure out what was wrong, but I focused on these two lines in configure.py MAIN_DIRECTORY = str(Path(file).parent.resolve()) + "/"
THEMES_DIR = MAIN_DIRECTORY + 'res/themes/'
However, that can't be it as I can't be the only one with this problem. Theme Editor seems to work, strange. So for temporary joy, I copied blue earth theme into the 3.5inchTheme directory) Message me for any help I can give. THANK YOU.

    Moved turing to /opt directory, reinstalled, still same error on themes directory. Running python3 configure.py, config window opens fine. When I click on themes, I get an Error window, Error -- KIO Client " The file or folder /opt/turing-smart-screen-python-main/"/opt/turing-smart-screen-python-main/res/themes" does not exist." with the following in console: "The file or folder /opt/turing-smart-screen-python-main/"/opt/turing-smart-screen-python-main/res/themes" does not exist.
