Hello @bertez , I'm really sorry you're running into this issue with 1Password! Let's get things back up and running.

When saving an attachment, 1Password automatically places the decrypted file in the XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR directory, as declared in .bashrc or .zshrc. On many distros, this environment variable is set automatically by the package xdg-user-dirs. To get things working, you can declare a directory for XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR in ..bashrc or .zshrc, in the format below:


XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/Downloads"

Alternately, you can install the xdg-user-dirs package. If you'd like to read a little more about xdg-user-dirs and the function it provides before installing, you can find more information at the link below:
