Today, after very poor past experience with snaps, I thought to give it
a go once again to use some third party software packaged as snap.
Alas, I see this bug is sadly still not fixed.
# Docker (arguably different use cases) got it right
With docker it can be as easy as:
docker run -it -v $PWD:/somemountpoint myprogram myarguments
and voilà, the docker-confined app sees your current directory as
/somemountpoint.
# Snap as policy and communication failure
The current snap experience is: users run software, perform reasonable
actions, see cryptic failures, ask reasonable "howto" questions and get
"no reasonable person would do such action" answers.
I respectfully disagree.
IMHO no reasonable software provider should treat they users like that.
Such rejection attitude to users maintains the status quo and overall
saps snap reputation.
