Please check the xdg-desktop-portal version. In xdg-desktop-portal 1.18.0 and later this problem should be fixed. Please reopen if you still see the problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xdg-desktop-portal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2020655 Title: XDG Desktop Portal should show "nice" user path Status in firefox snap: Fix Released Status in xdg-desktop-portal: New Status in xdg-desktop-portal package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Users hould not see "/run/xxx" but rather e.g., "/tmp/" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox-snap/+bug/2020655/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

I dont know if you can re-use it like you do or if you should go again to your /mnt/itch/Down. It would be useful if you could try several downloads each time manually selecting the correct folder. It works every time if I manually select the correct folder. That's what I do for every download. Then mabye the real issue is that we keep in memory the XDG's document path instead of the folder you selected ? Yes, that seems like the issue to me. ``` As much as I could understand so far of our interactions there, we delegate handling of the file picker to GTK, and we have no direct notion of the "original good" path that users might expect (e.g, `smb://server/share/Path`) and what we get back from the file picker has been processed by the XDG portal and we only get the Portal's Document folder, i.e., `/run/user//doc//`.

I dont know how much we can fix there. FF does know the original good path, because I can enter it manually in about:config. But it doesn't use it for subsequent downloads.

But it doesn't use it for subsequent downloads. That's not how it works. If I understand the portal's D-Bus docs correctly, what you set in `about:config` goes into the portal via the `current_folder` argument, then the portal returns a `/run/user//` path and, because it'd leak information to a potential attacker for a program to be able to recover the un-sandboxed path from the sandboxed one, Firefox has no choice but to assume that you changed the directory from the one it remembers and save the new one. I can't remember whether a PR has been accepted, but
