[Bug 1766192] Re: [snap] cannot save file under $HOME
Hello! Ubuntu 18.04 libreoffice build ID: libreoffice-6.0.4.2-snap1 I find it weird that opening * /home//.hidden/Document.odt DOES NOT WORK (access denied) * /home//Documents/.hidden/Document.odt WORKS * /home//myfolder/.hidden/Document.odt WORKS Opening * /home//.Hidden.odt DOES NOT WORK (access denied) Opening * /home//Document.odt DOES NOT WORK (LibreOffice complains that it can't create a lock file (which is a hidden file), and opens the document only read only) Opening (non-hidden) documents directly in the home directory is intended to only work read-only? Seems that accessing hidden files in the first level inside the home directory is denied. The "home" interface for snaps doesn't allow reading/writing files to .dot directories directly under $HOME. This is to mitigate access to sensitive information. See https://docs.snapcraft.io/reference/interfaces. We have several applications which access documents under /home//.hidden which now does not work any more. Of course I could move all the documents to /home//Documents/.hidden, but this would require all applications to be adjusted for that. We also have libreoffice extensions which require accessing files in the .hidden directory. If I move them to the documents directory I have to find out the path of it e.g. via "xdg-user-dir DOCUMENTS", but will that work inside the libreoffice extension with limited access? I could create a directory with a known name directly in the home directory and put all the files into it, but this could confuse users if there is a directory which contains only a hidden directory. Unhiding our .hidden directory could also confuse users as we store internal data there. Any suggestions?

[Bug 1751005] Re: libreoffice cannot open a document not within $HOME
Thank you! So this behavior is freezed and I cannot expect a "fix" for this? Opening documents directly in the home directory is intended to only work read-only? We also have libreoffice extensions which require accessing files in the .hidden directory. If I move them to the documents directory I have to find out the path of it e.g. via "xdg-user-dir DOCUMENTS", but will that work inside the libreoffice extension with limited access?

One more issue: Opening * /home//.Hidden.odt DOES NOT WORK (access denied) Opening * /home//Document.odt DOES NOT WORK (LibreOffice complains that it can't create a lock file (which is a hidden file), and opens the document only read only) Seems that accessing hidden files in the first level inside the home directory is denied. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1751005 Title: libreoffice cannot open a document not within $HOME To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1751005/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
