Yes, but... when I used it recently it resulted in error message (still installed though OK)
Anyway, it works fine now (after Kunda1 put me on straight and narrow :lol: )

but when I try to open existing assembly files it results in long error messages :oops:
basically saying that all the linked files do not exist .... :twisted:

Looks like you're accessing a file via the document portal. I quote:

Code: Select all

 The FileChooser portal allows sandboxed applications to ask 
 the user for access to files outside the sandbox. 
 The portal backend will present the user with a file chooser dialog.


The selected files will be made accessible to the application via the 
document portal, and the returned URI will point into the document 
portal fuse filesystem in /run/user/$UID/doc/. 
(https://flatpak.github.io/xdg-desktop-portal/)

If the files are in your home folder, the portal should return a normal path. Where are those files?

Thank you!
I have suspected it was something like this ... (not exactly the clearest thing about snap :mrgreen: )
The file (all my data) is kept on NAS and accessible from any PC connected to it.
On my Linux machines the mount point for NAS data is in my home directory:

Code: Select all

 home/bambuko/My_NAS_Files
so in theory this should be OK?

What kind of mount is it? CIFS, sshfs? The mount path alone is not enough; I think it's a little more complicated than that.

I just conducted a little experiment: A ssh mount via sshfs -o allow_other,uid=1001,gid=1002 user@server:/folder ~/remotedir works perfectly fine. The key is the uid & gid mapping (Apparmor is very strict :D) and the allow_other option (so snapd as root can access it, I guess).

Works for me. At least when I specify the uid and gid mapping as described above for sshfs.

Thank you,
I will play with it tomorrow - must admit more complicated and PITA than what I was hoping it would be... :cry:

For the record, I used this command:

Code: Select all

sudo mount -t cifs -o guest,uid=$UID //server/folder  ~/remotedir/ 
The key is to specify a uid. You can set this in /etc/fstab or in a systemd mount unit.

My "mount at boot" fstab line for NAS specifies uid and files open fine in snap FreeCAD as long as there are no external links.
It's not the location that is an issue.
Try opening an assembly file with external links....
