Description myocytebd 2024-07-30 09:38:02 UTC 
SUMMARY
(snap okular 24.05.1)
okular fails to open some local files (not under home) by cmdline, but can open it by GUI navigation


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Let directories be:
```
/storage (separate disk mounted on /)
/storage/Downloads (dir on disk /storage)
/_disk_home (separate disk mounted on /)
/home (separate disk; bind mount from /_disk_home)
/home/<me> (dir on /home)
/home/<me>/Downloads (symlink) -> /storage/Downloads
```
Then try to open same files by cmdline and GUI navigation.

OBSERVED RESULT
`okular /home/<me>/a.pdf`  OK;
`okular` then File->Open...->(gnome file dialog)->navigate/select: OK;

`okular /home/<me>/Downloads/b.pdf`  Fail;
`okular` then navigate: OK;

`okular /storage/Downloads/b.pdf`  Fail;
`okular` then navigate: OK;


EXPECTED RESULT
`okular /home/<me>/Downloads/b.pdf` & `okular /storage/Downloads/b.pdf`  success


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.4
Qt Version: 6.7.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I don't understand the quirks of gnome/snap, so I don't know if it is gnome/snap's flaw.

```

Comment 1 myocytebd 2024-07-30 09:40:51 UTC 
Let directories be:
```
/storage (separate disk mounted on /)
/storage/Downloads (dir on disk /storage)
/_disk_home (separate disk mounted on /)
/home (separate disk; bind mount from /_disk_home/home)
/home/<me> (dir on /home)
/home/<me>/Downloads (symlink) -> /storage/Downloads
```

Does this work on the non snap version?
