Both packages work its just more of an annoying if anything as to why there is two.
I believe I've attached all the useful info. Linux / Fedora is new to me. Think I might have filebot installed as a package as well as through snap. If you guys need any more info please let me know what I can do to locate it.
Thanks in advance

We only have one RPM package, so no idea why it would show up twice. But I'm no expert on DNF / RPM either.

I'm unsure myself linux is fairly new to me. I used it a few year back when it was yum.. was a windows guy but have noticed how even turning off data collection is basically a placebo. I've changed to Linux distros for good. I did notice filebot is in the /home/snap/filebot folder I do have a hide /home/.filebot folder is that normal?

Linux applications traditionally use ~/.<package> for their application data. SNAP packages are more standardized and thus they all do and must use /home/snap/<package> for their application data.

TL;DR The RPM package uses ~/.filebot and the SNAP package uses /home/snap/filebot so they're running completely independent of each other.
