Failing to install extension #76

Closed kemelzaidan closed 3 years ago

I'm trying to install the Better BibTex extension but Zotero doesn't even show the .xpi file on the the addon manager. Trying to drag the addon inside the addon manager windows gives the following incompatible error message:

Since the Zotero flatpak version is the last one available and the plugin version is only 16 days old, I believe it's not likely to be a version compatibility problem.

I didn't know this extension.

I just downloaded and installed without problems (but I didn't use it).

You must put the .xpi file inside a directory that Zotero flatpak sandbox can access.

For example, put the .xpi file inside your Downloads directory.

If you wanna Zotero accessing others directories than the defaults ... you can use https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.github.tchx84.Flatseal. Another way to give permission to others dirs is using CLI: flatpak override --user --filesystem=/PATH/DESIRED/ org.zotero.Zotero.

Boas festas.

It did work. In fact, the problem was accessing folders other than the sandbox restricted ones.

Thanks e boas festas!
