Hi, so snaps do not allow access to . directories, they instead have their own due to sandbox restraints, the files instead go to ~/snap/gcompris/current/.local/share/GCompris/sketch/test.png |
SUMMARY A user raised an issue where they can't write files on their system with the Snap package. We have several activities that allow to write the output (for example "sketch") on the filesystem (which should be ~/.local/share/GCompris/sketch/test.png). We use the path: QStandardPaths::writableLocation(QStandardPaths::GenericDataLocation) + QLatin1String("/GCompris")) to set the folder name. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open GCompris 2. Open sketch activity (the last section allows to search an activity by name) 3. Draw something, on the right panel, Save the file. The operation is told successful but the user is unable to find the file in the filesystem. OBSERVED RESULT No file created EXPECTED RESULT File should be accessible under ~/.local/share/GCompris/sketch/ SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Snap version of GCompris ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
