Description Marco Bubke 2017-12-20 19:29:48 UTC

As you allow the sand box to access the host file system and access the file over
the file dialog you get a very different path than the expected.

actual:
Access file /home/username/testproject/testproject.pro
=> /run/user/1001/doc/3b985a78/testproject.pro

expected:
Access file /home/username/testproject/testproject.pro
=> /home/username/testproject/testproject.pro

I think it is because the file dialog portal is not testing if the file access is 
permitted and sends always an opaque file handle.

I discussed this with Flatpak developers and opened a bug here: https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/issues/141

Good, I was not sure it belonged to kde or flatpak in general. Thank you.

I believe this is no longer a problem.
