Sapot browser - opening of local files in ~/ home/phablet/Downloads folder impossible?
-
In contrary to morph-browser, local files in /home/phablet/Downloads folder are impossible to open by Sapot browser (acess denied).
Is/will it be possible NOT to use Sapot browsers OWN Downloads folder in /home/phablet/.local/share/sapot-browser.kugiigi/Downloads/
but the GENERAL one in /home/phablet/Downloads ?
What can I do? -
@uwahl Nothing can be done about it by you. Sapot Browser is confined, and so cannot access anything outside its own folder 'namespace'. Any change to that would have to be implemented in the code of the application. Maybe contact the author or open a feature request om the project page (linked in the OoenStore)

I'm the developer of Sapot and I intentionally made it confined so I had to change the downloads path. I don't have a plan to change that though, sorry.

...thanks for your kind answer... I don't know the needs for making an app a confined one; makes the parallel use of Morph and Sapot for testing puposes a little bit more difficult...
But anyway, thank you for your good work and for your efforts!
Maybe one fine day, each program will come with a configurable file in /home/phablet/.config including a path option for downloads and something else...
... a dream of mine in near (?) future :-)) -
Something like this works and maybe can be useful :

...thanks, it helps a little bit - I can "see" a part of contents in general Downloads folder in Sapot, but still cannot open it from Spaot browser due to "access denied"...
My ideal would be to see all the contents (of both General=Morph Downloads folder and Sapot Downloads folder) AND being able to open all of them by Sapot Browser...
Maybe an idea - installing exact copies of both Downloads folders with rsync...? -
@uwahl you have stuff in the download folder you want to open with the browser?
-
@arubislander ...yes, some downloaded html files, some png, jpg files (e.g.pricelists etc.) and even pdf files I can normally open with the document viewer by morph browser.
When trying to open these files with Sapot browser in the "foreign" Morph-Downloads folder ... nothing happens due to "access denied"...
