https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=466077 --- Comment #17 from Timothée Ravier --- We can do the following: - Refuse to directly open a directory when started as a Flatpak and open the file dialog instead to let the user pick it. - Refuse to open `/` when in a Flatpak. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=466077 Timothée Ravier changed: What|Removed |Added CC||t...@siosm.fr --- Comment #14 from Timothée Ravier --- Previous work on this front was in: https://github.com/flathub/org.kde.filelight/pull/12 & https://github.com/flathub/org.kde.filelight/pull/14 There is only so much we can force through the portal for Filelight. When Dolphins call Filelight directly, it does not go through a portal and thus does not have access to the files to scan. Giving it full host access to does really work well either and needs code changes. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

If i type "/" in Portal to scan, it scans only /etc and /run directories. Weird :( -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=466077 --- Comment #12 from ratijas --- Amazing indeed. I'm pretty sure it's not just one bug, but a combination of bugs on multiple levels. One of them is entering path manually and hitting Enter in portals. The rest is probably up to Flatpak / sandboxing. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=466077 --- Comment #11 from Harald Sitter --- Ok. This is amazing. So. Your / scanning trick effectively tricks the dir open dialog into not passing a portal url but literally file:/// so it scans the inside of the sandbox, and since that is littered with mounts it effectively only scans /etc because most everything else is a mount and excluded by the cross-mount-boundary setting. No surprise the output then looks funky. Either a bug in kio or xdg-desktop-portal-kde I guess - you shouldn't ever be able to scan / of the sandbox, it makes no sense to do so. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

But there's a way: 1) type in "/" manually into the path text field, 2) click "OK" button -- hitting Enter wouldn't work. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=466077 Harald Sitter changed: What|Removed |Added CC||trav...@redhat.com --- Comment #6 from Harald Sitter --- Well, I mean, it isn't that broken. The path doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. The fact that you can't scan root is why the root scan button was disabled. But I'll grant you it's a bit crap. The fact that it is slow is equally not broken, just the cost of doing business with portals. What is more interesting is why the home button was removed from flatpaks, because now we tell users to use the file open dialog, which indeed does produce crappier results than it needs to for $HOME.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=466077 --- Comment #3 from ratijas --- Even if I choose directory explicitly via portals, paths are still displayed wrong, e.g. some cryptic file:///run/user/1000/doc/24372f9e/ratijas/kde/ instead of /home/ratijas/kde. And it's literally impossible to give it access to "/" root via portals at all! Also scanning with flatpaked app feels on a several orders slower than using unsandboxed one. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
