...I only tried with the official freecad snap and standard Nautilus in Ubuntu 22.04, and my file opened just fine...
Thank you!
I am downloading official FreeCAD snap to compare with Link branch
Will report back.
I am using Link branch and Assembly3
you can also download ... and try it here
excellent Assembly3 tutorials here
@bambuko That's a great result. Now we have to compare both desktop files to find the culprit! If you're feeling extra helpful today, you can file an issue in realthunder's repo.
Try FreeCAD from the Snap Store: Stable releases (in latest/stable) & daily builds (in latest/edge). Supports installing additional python packages via pip!

@ppd
sorry if it is a wrong place?
latest snap update looses icon because .desktop file points at .svg whereas the location it points to, only has .png
Should I mention it to @realthunder or you?

As you can see, I can't reproduce the issue. Or am I misunderstanding you?

it is all OK now ... don't know what was going on
Maybe the snap was updated in the background and your manually copied desktop file pointed to a now outdated icon path.
Try replacing the revision number in your local desktop file with "current", i.e. Icon=/snap/freecad-realthunder/current/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/freecad_link.svg

Yes, I guess that is what has solved the problem
Thank you again for your help and patience!

No, it is not that
worked it out today (because the same has happened with master snap)
What actually seem to be happening is that every time snap is updated one critical address is changed.
It doesn't matter if one uses .desktop from snap, but because I am using copied/modified version, this address doesn't get updated...
