Other type of issue
Description with steps to reproduce
Download the appimage of MuseScore, open it from the terminal (after chmod +x of course) and you get a big list of errors. Some seem innocent (not being able to connect immediately), some seem more serious like musesampler errors and UI-errors.
I don't know how bad it is and if the developers are aware of this but I will show the output in added screenshots so that the developers might benefit from it. The program seems to be working fine but I am not an advanced user.
Also, apparently xml does not appreciate variable-names being capitalized, see the first screenshot. Could that eventually become a problem?
I noticed this for both 4.4.2 and for 4.3.2. and on both Arch and Ubuntu-base.
Supporting files, videos and screenshots
What is the latest version of MuseScore Studio where this issue is present?
4.4.2
Regression
No.
Operating system
Linux (Arch and popOS)
Additional context
I use this AppImage on both my desktop (Arch) and laptop (popOS), I get the same errors in the terminal, as to be expected because it is an AppImage and those should run the same on every Linux distribution.
