you can get logs with:
flatpak run chat.simplex.simplex
and yes possibly a native linux file picker should be used here (that allows choosing any file since it is user initiated action, doesn't need to give the app itself access to all files)
@Narasimha-sc Thanks for the reply! But I was wondering how to get logs if I install the app as a .deb, e.g. natively. TIA.
ypu can run it from terminal with:
/opt/simplex/bin/simplex
Is there an existing issue for this?
Platform
Linux
OS version
Debain testing
App version
5.8.1
Current Behavior
This is similar, though not the same as, #4339. When I try to choose a profile picture, this is what pops up when using the Flatpak:
I have to say, it is the worst file picker I've ever seen. 🤣
However, it's not just the file-picker itself; it seems like SimpleX doesn't have the permissions to access anything outside of the
~/Downloads/simplex/
folder.For the "Platform" field on an issue, shouldn't there be an option for "Flatpak" or "AppImage" as well?
Also, no other app I've seen creates a directory in the user's home directory without asking.
Expected Behavior
If SimpleX has access to only one folder, it would be good if it did something like:
But then, wouldn't it be better to let the user choose a file from anywhere on the system?
As for the
simplex
folder in the Download directory, what is it used for?Lastly, what is the proper way to get logs? (for a .deb install) I tried running
simplex
, andsimplex-desktop
, but neither of those were the right command.TIA.
