Permission filesystem=host not working

[OldNick]

Darktable flatpak is installed on chromebook linux. To access my images, I need to go /mnt/chromeos/external/... when I try to, using the file picker-dialogue, clicking "other locations" the "computer" icon is greyed out and unresponsive. I am, in fact, firmly stuck in the /home/user directory. I have verified that Darktable has the necessary permissions, tried, using Flatseal, to point the app explicitly at the directory I want, all to know avail. I'm leaving the app installed in the hope there is a solution to this...

/mnt/chromeos/external this is a non standard path.

If only ChromeOS followed standards.

Perhaps it isn't conventional but Rawtherapee, Freesync and Geeqie (all installed as flatpak apps) DO work - after tweaking the overrides. Chrome Linux is essentially a VM with pathways open to shared directories.

If you've used flatseal to adjust the permissions to the correct path, I'm not sure what else we can do.

Maybe find out why? It's the only flatpak that's misbehaved in this way. I've tried quite a few - a lot have bugs of various kinds, but none this particular one.

I don't own a Chromebook and I don't want one. You have the issue and you can reproduce it. If you can tell us what is wrong we can fix it, but if you can't you'll have to find someone who can.

Thank you for the reply It has cured me from ever wanting to use flatpaks

[OldNick]

The solution is to add permissions for the /mnt directory
