How to add an sftp directory correctly to permissions? #708

Open thepragmaticmero opened 2 months ago

thepragmaticmero commented 2 months ago

I want to add permission the following folder correctly. image /run/user/1000/gvfs/sftp:host=192.168.18.21/home/ideapadhdd I'm worried about the little exclamation mark at the side. It appears instantly after typing a colon :. Should I replace it with /run/user/1000/gvfs/? It's stops complaining with that file path.

My obsidian vault needs access to that specific folder. The Obsidian.appimage didn't complain about access to sftp(because the lack of sandboxing).

I'm worried about the little exclamation mark at the side.

Hover them to show a tooltip.

Also you can easily check if it works as expected by using flatpak run --command=sh <app-id>.

$ flatpak run --command=bash md.obsidian.Obsidian
F: Unexpected filesystem suffix host=192.168.18.21/home/ideapadhdd, ignoring
[📦 md.obsidian.Obsidian ~]$

mmm interesting... I mean using /run/user/1000/gvfs works fine so.... for my use case its enough lol, but is there any way to only give access to a specific directory inside the sftp server??

flatpak run --command=sh --filesystem=~/foo\\:bar org.gnome.TextEditor seems to work although being undocumented.

Now the question, does flatseal support this syntax?

ohhh double backslash, interesting. On flatseal it keeps appearing as "This is not a valid option", so it's a bug that needs to be solved then. If it's not a feature bug, it is a UI bug.
