Bug ID: 159311
Summary: Use xdg-desktop portals instead of static filesystem
permissions
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: medium
Component: filters and storage
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
The Flatpak needs very broad permissions over the Filesystem.
Files launched from a File Manager can always be opened by an app, and "Ctrl+O"
should invoke the Desktops xdg-portal for filepicker, mainly GNOME or KDE.
This would allow users to restrict any storage permissions of Libreoffice and
reduce attack surface.
As the Flatpak is now officially supported and distros like RHEL are starting
to deprecate their native packages, I think many people would be happy about
this change!
