    Your point is valid. I am afraid this is so because I keep the scripts from my gitlab repos in a ~/git directory, just to keep them nice and tidy in that place.

    At some point I was considering moving the sh script to ~/.local/bin/ , the cache files to ~/.cache/, the configuration files to .config etc, but never got to it. Perhaps it would be better this way.

    However the installation instructions include commands to create the ~/git directory, so if one would just follow the instructions and run the respective commands, they would face no problem.

    To run the script, I have a key binding dedicated to run kitty -T Magic-Tape /home/myname/git/magic-tape/magic-tape.sh, and a panel launcher with the same command, so the script runs fine.

    I will however check the info you gave me (which I admit I ignore), thank you for the feedback.
