Oh, no, I'm glad I asked... So what whould then happen when vlc automatically tries to open the subtitle file associated with the video? When I open "vlc /my/custom/path/file.avi" I presumably will get a dialog box (because lets be specific: that is what I'll get, right?) will I then also get another dialog box when vlc tries to open "/my/custom/path/file.srt" 1 ms later? Just to be clear: I would *much* prefer to *configure* vlc to be allowed to open everything under /my/custom/path/ without any extra confirmation. Especially because if there is "a trusted security mechanism (e.g. integrated with gnome shell)" there is no way for me to use snap apps in scripts, e.g. if they have options that allow them to perform bulk operations. -- 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 ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
