RE: "IMPORTANT: the policy will not allow creating these directories (just like it doesn't for the ones in ~), so something else will have to create them."
I can't think of anything else that would create them. Is it an issue to let the apps create them when/if they need to? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apparmor-easyprof-ubuntu in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1391930 Title: Need a way for applications to ask permission to read/write in pictures/videos folders on SD card Status in “apparmor-easyprof-ubuntu” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “apparmor-easyprof-ubuntu” source package in Utopic: In Progress Status in “apparmor-easyprof-ubuntu” source package in Vivid: In Progress Status in “apparmor-easyprof-ubuntu” package in Ubuntu RTM: New Bug description: The camera and the gallery app today are authorized to read/write in /home/$USER/Pictures and /home/$USER/Videos.
