Hi, this is typical for Flatpak packages, but this is a design issue and it can be considered as a safety solution too.

See https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/sandbox-permissions.html.

In addition, Flathub disallows using some of the possible permissions, so Flathub's Flatpak packages are extremely sandboxed. There seems to be a way to tweak these settings (see https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/flatpaks-cant-seem-to-access-most-folders-including-home/76543), but I am not familiar with this, sorry.

What TeXmacs should work around better, indeed, is error handling. It crashes also if there is no applicable locale on the system. There is no fallback option in such cases.

Best, Zoltan

Hello,

Note: I am a computer scientist.

I am now regretting moving to TeXmacs 2.1.5 because it fails to see
anything in my home directory excepting the Documents folder and its
contents.

I installed the flatpak version on my Linux desktop. There's no package
for my distribution. I had flatpak check the installation. (flatpak
repair) I've had no other trouble with flatpak which I use extensively
and have for years.

When I try to open a TeXmacs document that is not in the tree rooted at
~/Documents by double clicking it fails. For example a file in my home
directory itself. (If I try to use the open file dialog such a document
in my home directory is not even visible, nor any other directories
there excepting ~/Documents.)

I get an "Error messages" titled new window with an error line in it
that I cannot copy. Here it is, typed in.

Warning: Load error for /run/user/1000/doc/7f6c91bf/blah.tm, Success

When I go to the extended message in this window it says an exception
was thrown followed by a segmentation fault. The exception message says
it cannot concretize a tuple, and the description of the tuple is too
long for the line in the window even maximized, so the end of the
message is lost.

How should I proceed?

Carl.
