Yeah this isn't a KDE issue, it's kind of an issue with how Flatpak and portals work in the first place. When you select a file, the app gets a temporary license to open that file. Once it does, the access is revoked. This breaks use cases where you want an application to automatically open files on launch, as you're doing. I think this requires discussion upstream for some kind of session restore support whereby apps can register their current state and get the ability to restore it on launch. We could implement what the GNOME portal does, but it's a hack, as there's no guarantee that the last-used folder is the folder where the files needed by the app are actually located. Maybe until upstream support for some kind of sesison restore materializes, we could give the app permanent access to *all* files that the user has deliberately opened via the portalized open dialog -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
