Flatpak is a software platform that runs on top of Linux. It has idiosyncrasies by design.
|
|
|
|
This page provides some solutions to work with flatpak.
|
|
Exactly how to use Flatpak needs to refer [Flatpak's documentation](https://docs.flatpak.org/)
|
|
|
|
These solutions use [Flatseal](https://github.com/tchx84/Flatseal), but directly using the `flatpak` command or KDE's [flatpak-kcm](https://invent.kde.org/plasma/flatpak-kcm) works as well.

## Add external programs
|
|
|
|
Problem: Apps inside Flatpak cannot run programs on the host system directly.
|
|
|
|
Solution: Use `flatpak-spawn --host`.
|
|
|
|
First, add `org.freedesktop.Flatpak` to allowed session bus.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then add application like `flatpak-spawn --host --directory=${the external program's pwd will be set to this value} ${The actual commands}`.
|
|
|
|
For example, [Translate Shell](https://github.com/soimort/translate-shell) can be added to GoldenDict as `flatpak-spawn --host --directory=. trans -no-ansi %GDWORD%`.
|
|
|
|
## Uses fixed paths instead of `/run/user/1000/doc/...`
|
|
|
|
Apps inside Flatpak don't have direct access to filesystem by default. A directory selected in file chooser will be exported to app as `/run/user/1000/doc/...`. The exported directories can be listed with `flatpak documents --columns=id,origin,application`
|
|
|
|
If you want to use fixed paths instead, just grant GolenDict either the whole file system, the whole home or a specific path.
|
|
|
|
Note that some special paths in the host system like `\tmp` cannot be accessed by flatpak apps in any way.
