Re: [Gprename-users] [SOLVED] Re: gprename-20220807 cannot be started w/o root permissions: DynaLoader.pm

Oh interesting, thanks for the reply. After installing GPRename, it 
should create this file: ~/.config/gprename/gprename

I think something was wrong with the variable remember_last_directory_path

It might have been set to like /root which might explain why it couldn't 
open gprename while not root
