<![CDATA[[request] give me this one consession and ill make magic on UT]]>the home folder is a easy place to navigate to when trying to do thing with files however UT does not permit this ....for example to make a competent archival tool for UT i cannot simply make a directory tree to navigate files select or create or extract archives ....i can in the apps sandbox space but this isnt useful so my only option is to use contenthub to pass file from their location to the apps sandbox do file operation then put them back ...you see what i mean? .....its like i had a leg cut off and now im expected to run a marathon ....lol metaphorically speaking ..this is a major roadblock for development ...i can work around it but its awkward overly convoluted to do simple task .....im simply asking for a "workspace" folder in the home directory that behaves normally so when i port like a million apps to UT i simply need to point to that location not refactor the way the whole program works simply why again? ....its basically secure to the point of non operational ability ...i get and love the secureness of UT .....im not like mad or anything now but like i have the most awesome file archiver for UT ...cant use it and i had to refactor it into something i dont want to use .......idk i think this is what im asking for? ...can someone please make me understand why we are holding such a hard line on something so ....makes things damn harder than they need to be ......or am i just wrong ....be patient changes are in the works? i know they are .........hands in the air i have been banging my head on code on this for like 23 hours straight ...i ask AI ...AI:"yeah my hands are tied" ....throws keyboard** ....someone please therapy me on this lol

Feel free to ask about that in the next Q&A. I think folders in contentHub could be a thing.

In the mean time I think you can add access to a folder in your apparmor profile (like the Documents folder). Your apps will have to be revised before publishing in the openStore but I guess it should be ok, if everything is transparent.

I doubt general access to folders will be granted to all apps, as it would break the whole isolation model that currently exists.

I think a nice feature that could be useful in your case is sharing folders with contentHub. I don't think it currently exists, and it would allow you to move folders in and out your writable application space.

archival tool for UT

security implications.

Any backup tool has security implications, to backup secret information you have to be able to read it in the first place. So I'd expect that backup tools would need special warning from the store, you need some trusted person to read the code and ensure that it is not exporting the data it is able to read it to some unwanted place.

Or set read and write paths to entire home directory. Of course, these have security implications.
