Problem summary
Incorrect Mari release used for importing older Preferences if XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment variable is set
 
Customer reported version
Mari 4.8v3
 
Customer reported platform
Linux
 
Steps to reproduce
 
1) Set a XDG_CONFIG_HOME=/path/to/temp/folder environment variable pointing to a temporary, empty folder
 
2) Launch Mari 4.7v7, then exit
 
3) Launch Mari 4.8v1, then exit
 
In the XDG_CONFIG_HOME folder, there should now be a TheFoundry folder containing a Mari4.7v7.conf file and a Mari4.8v1.conf file.
 
4) Launch a Mari release that is newer than 4.8v1
 
Expected behaviour
A dialog should appear, asking if you want to import preferences from Mari 4.8v1 
 
Actual behaviour
The dialog asks if you want to import preferences from Mari 4.7v7
 
Workaround
Unknown.
