Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
Product: frameworks-kio
Version First 6.24.0
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED

SUMMARY
Flatpak apps (like gwenview) cannot access files its opened previously.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. remove /home access to gwenview flatpak (via flatseal, system settings, etc)
2. open file with gwenview (say named "mybestfile.png")
3. close gwenview
4. open gwenview
5. file -> open recently close files ->
6. get error: Could not open file:///run/user/1000/doc/1099b545/mybestfile.jpg.
OBSERVED RESULT
Gwenview cannot open recently viewed files when packaged as a flatpak and /home
(or folder) permission is removed.
EXPECTED RESULT
Gwenview can open recently viewed files using file portal remembering its seen
the file before.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Fedora 43
KDE Plasma Version: 6.6.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.23.0
Qt Version: 6.10.2
Kernel Version: 6.18.10-200.fc43.x86_64 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
What I understand to be happening is that flatpak paths are ephemeral. Kio
doesn't store the original path (based on system location), so when the app is
restarted, it cannot find the file anymore.
