Research direction

Reproduce the issue on Ubuntu Studio 25.10 with KDE Plasma 6.5.3, using a valid backup and the context-menu “Browse Files” action. Trace the Browse Files and About-link actions from the application UI, then verify that browsing opens a file view and About links open in the default browser.

Description

Describe the bug
Make a backup. (it is a functional proper backup that restores cleanly)
Right click on the backup entry in the application
Choose "browse files"
Nothing happens. No error message, no file browser of any sort, no list of files, nothing.

(also, about - click on links - does not open link in default browser)

Not working properly with KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.3 perhaps?

Expected behavior
I would expect to browse files after selecting menu option that say "Browse Files"
