[Bug 1968548] Re: firefox snap unable to open files from file-roller
Well, I personally think that $HOME/.cache isn't the right place to unpack temporary files, those should probably be unpacked somewhere under $TMPDIR by default. But that wouldn't really solve this bug, because the firefox snap, being strictly confined, would still be unable to read these files. And there might actually be a good reason for file- roller to unpack files under $HOME/.cache/ that I'm not aware of. Thinking about it again, I'm not sure that the OpenFile method of the FileChooser portal would be of any help here. It's firefox that is sandboxed, not file-roller. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to file-roller in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1968548 Title: firefox snap unable to open files from file-roller To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/file-roller/+bug/1968548/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1968548] Re: firefox snap unable to open files from file-roller
Hi, if I understand correctly, you're asking me to file a bug in file- roller. Unfortunately I don't know what "the FileChooser portal" is, nor do I know why it would be advantageous for file-roller to implement it. Now it could be that this actually *is* a Good Thing; but then I'm probably still not the one to file this bug. I simply cannot think of a reason to patch file-roller because Firefox Snap refuses to open certain files. In a more general sense: if reading and/or writing files under $HOME/.cache/ is discouraged or otherwise undesirable, then that should be targeted - I'm guessing a whole lot of bugs must be filed then, but this very bug can be closed. However, if $HOME/.cache/ is the right place to cache these things, then Firefox Snap should be patched. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to file-roller in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1968548 Title: firefox snap unable to open files from file-roller To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/file-roller/+bug/1968548/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
