It used to be an excellent programme! Used…….. The new version doesn’t work on Ubuntu 20.04; it refuses to deal with back-up files (tar.gz) and above all the ‘look up’ is useless, i.e. it goes nowhere sensible.
(Had to resort to an old Microsoft windows7 box to view any of my collections!
Not good.
On going to their website I got a ‘possible’ solution, but that is one beyond my skills. Sorry.

I too found that this will no longer work with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. Sad, as my old box (18.04LTS) crashed and died. I was able to get an older (1.6.1) version to work under WINE, but it is and seems more limited that what I had working under Ubuntu Linux 18.04LTS
