The good news is there is a solution to this. The trusted system shows a file picker, and then grants access to the sandboxes application.
This is called the File Chooser Portal. https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/portal-api-reference.html#gdbus-org.freedesktop.portal.FileChooser https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/portal-api-reference.html...
- nerdponx 3y agoI didn't realize this existed, it seems a lot like what Apple is doing for the photo gallery in recent iOS versions. That's a nice extra safety feature. I suppose additional security features inspired by mobile systems couldn't hurt either. Like a pop-up whenever something accesses the clipboard.
- orra 3y agoYup, mobile is ahead of desktop here, in terms of making it reasonably safe to run moderately questionable applications. I just hope flatpak sandboxing works well...
