I am running Fedora Kinoite 40 (OSTREE_VERSION='40.20240509.0'). Recently, I switched to Kinoite 40 and installed Kontact as flatpak from the fedora flatpak repository. It is now in version 6.0.2. When I try to draft an email and click on 'add attachment', a file picker opens that cannot see any files. I have then reconfigured the flatpak permissions and added manually create access to all user files and /tmp. I would expect Kontact to possess the necessary permissions by default. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install fedora kontact flatpak 2. create a new email 3. try to add an attachment using the file picker Actual Results: notice that no file can be selected in file picker Expected Results: I can choose any file from the system in the file picker
Our flatpak permissions are the same as upstream's, so does the same thing occur with the flathub flatpak as well? If so, please report this to https://github.com/flathub/org.kde.kontact/issues and KDE bugzilla.
I filed this problem in the KDE bug tracker https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=486838
This will be fixed in the next flatpak build of kontact.
