Permissioning failures when installed from snap on Ubuntu 22.04

[johnmee]

Shame. Shows enormous promise, but I couldn't get anything useful out of it.

It does open up and render the whole workspace. I could get it to show a single jpeg.

• Could not browse any files. The next and previous buttons did nothing
• As the workspace renders itself there is a popup warning that it has no, or no permission to, a directory '~/Documents/Regards/Thumbnail'.
  • I created one and gave it 777 permissions. But, whilst the dialog stopped, it didn't matter much. It did not put anything in there.
• .HEIC files failed to render
• The files browser did not seem able to cross the filesystem boundary to a mounted drive?

But perhaps best to sort out some of the boot sequence issues reported first...

In the Ubuntu Software application there is a 'Permissions' dialog.

Granting Read system mount information and disk quotas and Read/write files on removable storage devices, made it a lot more useful: I can get to my store of jpegs and seems to work fine for that. That other local dir really on had heic files in it; some render but a lot don't. I'm wondering if the don'ts are actually those funky 'live' photos that the iphone does.

I can navigate next/prev now; perhaps it could only 'see' one file.

Notes for the the initial experience are

• configure the thumbnails directory, and
• grant permissions to r/w mounted drives

Thanks for you return. I need some complementary information Can you send me your computer configuration ? I will try it. Thanks

I have two SSDs. The first has the linux OS and the second, with all the images, is mounted at /mnt/john/. It looks like the snap needs to be granted those special permissions to access another file system. thx.
