Add .pki as a persistent folder location #363

Closed thatLeaflet closed 5 months ago

thatLeaflet commented 6 months ago

By default, the Chromium flatpak has access to the whole home directory. One of the annoying things that Chromium does is create a .pki folder directly in the user's ~, which at no point the user will ever need to see.

By adding the .pki folder as a persistent folder location, this folder will instead be placed in ~/.var/app/org.chromium.Chromium/.pki so that the user will never has to see it.

As far as I remember persistent don't work together with permission for the home directory

Yup that won't actually work. If you want to avoid the .pki you can just remove the home permission. (It's only really there for compat reasons; this Flatpak predates the ability to open folders via the filesystem portal.)
