No access to most files? #63

Closed faurehu closed 7 years ago

faurehu commented 7 years ago

I'm trying to install extensions. When I try to load unpacked files, the file picker won't show me most folders in my home directory. If I drag and drop it, the browser will say the file can't be found.

I figured the browser doesn't have permission to read those files but I've checked and the user that starts the Inox process can rwx all of these.

For reference, I'm on Arch linux.

AFAIK the file picker doesn't show hidden files beginning with . per default. Did you try to load the extension via the developer mode option?

@gcarq The file picker is actually showing me some dot files and hidden directories.

I have tried uploading an extension with developer mode, as a matter of fact that's the only way I've tried, I was using inoxunpack. I could try the alternatives listed on the README but at this point I'm more interested in sorting out my filepicker. When sites like Imgur ask me to upload an image I get the same issue.

@faurehu Are you using firejail or something?
