I’ve got it working now by creating Backups/workspaces.json manually in the workdir directory with the following content:

{"rootWorkspaces":[],"folderURIWorkspaces":[],"emptyWorkspaceInfos":[],"emptyWorkspaces":[]}

And then creating the folder {workdir}/User/workspaceStorage.

@NiklasMerz you can export LOG_LEVEL to debug and it’ll provide verbose output.
