fix: issues when exporting or saving in home folder #166

Closed vmpyr closed 4 months ago

vmpyr commented 8 months ago

I tried exporting a search filter result in my home directory and it wouldn't work with the error that I was trying to write to a read-only filesystem. Others have been facing this problem too, eg., #28 and Linux-Questions.

Hope my solution is the correct one for this problem.

I'm mildly against giving full access to the home directory. We're trying to isolate the app from the host system. By giving write access, we reduce this isolation. Currently, the share directory is writable and should suffice for writing exports to. If you really need to give write access to the full home directory, you can easily adjust the permissions with flatseal.

But I'm open to discussion. Your link to the posts on linuxquestions show entries from 2006 to 2008. These cannot be relevant here, because flatpak is much younger.
