@hackel and @bhjolly - yes, there are limitations in what strict confinement allows. We have transitional interfaces for home and removable-media that allow snaps to access the user's files and hotplugged media. If you mount outside of these areas, snaps will not be able to access the data. Today you can workaround this be choosing a mountpoint under /media or bind mounting into it.
Very soon snapd will be able to leverage portals for arbitrary file system access (this will hopefully be in 2.32). The major toolkits like gtk3 and qt5 should then 'just work' and use the portals file chooser instead of falling back to the traditional file chooser. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1643706 Title: snap apps need to be able to browse outside of user $HOME dir. for Desktop installs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/+bug/1643706/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
