Public bug reported: The camera and the gallery app today are authorized to read/write in /home/$USER/Pictures and /home/$USER/Videos. Now they also need to be able to read/write in the similar directories of the SD card, for example: - /media/phablet/064a-7494/Pictures - /media/phablet/064a-7494/Videos
As a side note, we are using the following API in applications to retrieve the path (e.g. /home/phablet/Pictures): http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qstandardpaths.html#writableLocation To retrieve the similar path on the SD card we are considering using a combination of that to guess the directory name (Pictures) concatenated with the value of http://doc-snapshot.qt- project.org/qt5-5.4/qstorageinfo.html#rootPath ** Affects: apparmor-easyprof-ubuntu (Ubuntu) Importance: High Assignee: Jamie Strandboge (jdstrand) Status: Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1391930 Title: Need a way for applications to ask permission to read/write in pictures/videos folders on SD card To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apparmor-easyprof-ubuntu/+bug/1391930/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
