[SOLVED] Brave (main browser) & Brave profiles no longer launch with alias but launch if manually put in terminal.

Hi.

I've no idea why this has happened. Does anyone know? I'm using the Flatpak version of Brave.

I have many programs that I launch upon login that I use daily each morn, all of the others startup without issue. Brave is the only non-repo program there, so perhaps that's something to do with this issue.

TIA.

I also added the alias commands to the custom startup entries section of the MATE Control Center - they still don't launch.

Shell aliases? They only work in the shell, and only if they are loaded (e.g. bash during startup loads aliases from .bashrc)

I had my programs in the alias file in alphabetical order. I though perhaps if I put the 2 Brave profile aliases at the start of the line, maybe that'd work. It did.
