flatpak manuskript cannot open project stored in network folder #1279

Open richtw370 opened 5 months ago

richtw370 commented 5 months ago

I have the same folder with a manuskript project on my network server and on my mint linux 21.3 laptop. when I open the folder on the desktop and click on the .msk file the project is opened and I can see my information. When I open the folder on the server and click on the .msk file there is no error message, but the project that I see has no information

That's the idea behind flatpak, isn't it? The application runs in a sandbox with limited permissions. You can see in a previous issue (#1277) that you can solve this on your own by giving the flatpak the required permission.

I am not sure the issue is flatpak sandboxing. I checked using flatseal and see that network permissions are granted. I also went ahead and granted every other possible permission. Still when opening project from network drive, no data comes back. As a further test I uninstalled the flatpak version and installed the .deb distribution using GDEBI. The open dialogue does not show "other locations" like flatpak version does and I am unable to get to the network server from the app (but I can use the file manager tool and "open with" to open the file in Manuskript and see the data). It feels like something is off in networking for this version??

I would assume you still need the permission to access the whole filesystem, not just networking. Because by default the flatpak is restricted to files in your own home directory.
