Hi, I would like to distribute an application with Flatpak. This application needs to access whole directory contents. If I try to run my Flatpak application from KDE, it fails with error `[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/run/user/1000/doc/1501a601/my_directory'`, while I can access this directory from command line/Dolpin. As stated in https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/portals-qt.html, this is currently not supported, while it is in GTK portal (https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/portals-gtk.html). I suppose this is the source of my error. Could you add directory support in KDE portal ? Regards, Yvan

(In reply to Harald Sitter from comment #1) > Isn't this > https://invent.kde.org/plasma/xdg-desktop-portal-kde/-/merge_requests/76 Hi Harald, I just did some more tests, and somehow it worked, I can not tell why it was not working before, sorry… For information, my app uses GTK but it is the KDE file chooser which shows when I "open a directory" in my app (I use KDE), so I don't know if it is the KDE or GTK portal which is involved here. But, I followed the link you gave and if I understand properly this merge request is a bit different from what I was asking: I need to be able to open an entire directory (not a single file), which seems different from being able to save multiple files at once.
Ah right, yeah, directory opening should definitely work. We use that in filelight successfully. Just to confirm, this is now working for you?
Yes it works now, thanks (I do not master Flatpak packaging yet :-) ). I could not find FileLight on Flathub though, where is the Flatpak version? I submitted a bug report (https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak-docs/issues/333) asking update to the Flatpak documentation.
filelight is only in the beta channel AFAIK
