British style comment: it is inconvenient that snaps behave this way, from the point of view of the user.
Real meaning: I just cannot understand how a *single* developer may even think that this snap behaviour is acceptable in any way- it is a show stopper, i.e. a reason to fire a full department of developers, to just remove snap fully from Ubuntu. I had to remove chromium because it is a snap and it just does not access my folders. I have to use old versions of apps that behave the same unacceptable way. I cannot imagine why this is even a discussion and not the #1 working item on the table of the developers of snap. You discuss about different mount positions and the likes- sorry, that is why linux has a strong permissions system and strong filesystems. Let that work! If you sandbox snaps that much, then please stop providing most apps via snaps. the current status is just unacceptable. -- 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
