Description

When I open an image outside my user directory and then choose "save as" I get the following error message:
`System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.
---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Problem seems to be the pre-selected path of the sandbox in the format "/run/user//doc/". A simple "save" works though! Operating system is Debian 12 with flatpak in version 1.14.4 and pinta in 2.1.1!

Hope you can reproduce and fix it. Thanks in advance!

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in Pinta 2.1.1 on Debian 12 with the Flatpak sandbox by opening an image outside the user directory and choosing Save as. Start at SaveDocumentImplmentationAction.SaveFileAs(Document document), then follow SaveDocumentAsAction and FileActions.RaiseSaveDocument; done means Save as no longer throws for the /run/user//doc/ path while ordinary Save still works.
