When clicking “Open Folder” or any file/folder opening options in Cursor, nothing happens. FYI, the issue is resolved when running with
sudo ./Cursor-0.49.6-x86_64.AppImage --no-sandbox
, which opens folders fine under sudo, but not under the regular user. But I don’t want to have to use it with sudo.
Other information:
system: Archlinux

First, sudo and --no-sandbox is a very bad idea, please leave out the --no-sandbox.
If it works with sudo but not without, it’s probably a permissions problem.
Check “Grant Execute Permissions to the AppImage” and check “Check Directory Ownership” for your user.
Yes I know that already but trying sudo is just to gather more information.
regarding Grant Execute Permissions to the AppImage: already did that, otherwise I cannot even open the app
regarding Check Directory Ownership: I’m on my home directory
The permission is likely related to sandboxing, but I’m unsure
Ok, then leave out the no–sandboxing if it still doesn’t work.
Check System Logs, Look for errors when launching cursor
./Cursor-0.49.6-x86_64.AppImage > cursor.log 2>&1
and if it is still not seen, Reinstall or Update Cursor

This one gives me

Probaly nothing relevant to the current issue.
About reinstalling, I tried different versions and nothing works
