Description

When I saved a screenshot with Flameshot 0.8.5 on Kubuntu 20.04 and click on the plasmashell notification to open the file I get an error saying Gwenview cannot open the file /home/hans/pictures/screenshots/pictures/screenshots. It repeats the relative location at the end of the configured path. Not sure if this is an error of Flameshot or KDE.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Trace the code path from screenshot save to notification action, focusing on how the file path is constructed and passed to the notification. Look for path concatenation logic that might double the relative directory.
