Drag-and-drop fails in snap package
The fewer issues I have to read, the more new features I will have time to implement, so I ask that you please try these things first
- [ ] Try with the newest version from GitHub (also it might have already been fixed in latest nightly build)
- [x] Read the documentation and FAQ, Known issues, Troubleshooting
- [x] Search for your problem under Issues or Discussions
- [x] This problem happens with all kinds of files that I try. For problem only with a particular file or type, use this other form instead
Operating System
Linux
Steps to reproduce
- Install losslesscut 3.64.0 (stable version) with snap to Fedora 42 (Adams)
- Start losslesscut
- The very first prompt that comes up in the main window is
DROP FILE(S) - Attempt to drag-and-drop any file from Caja 1.28.0-7 file manager
Expected behavior
File should open just as you'd opened it with File → Open…
Actual behavior
Popup Failed to open file, ENOENT: No such file or directory with a full correct-looking path to the file.
Could this perhaps be due to the snap sandbox or selinux? Going the normal File → Open… route works fine.
Note: embedded whitespace in the filename does not seem to make a difference, doesn't work with a filename without any whitespace either.

Does it work with AppImage version? losslesscut already specifies all the snap plugs as well as removable-media so I don't see how it can be a permission issue:

I have the same problem with a mounted USB drive. Drag and drop works on my /home and /mnt/store (a usb) but not /mnt/usb. Looking at the differences between they are referenced, the /mnt/usb was using a symbolic link rather than a direct filesystem path. I changed the bookmark to use the path and it worked. According to man pages lstat has problems with symlinks.
Mount details for reference: /dev/mapper/fedora-home on /home type ext4 (rw,relatime,seclabel) /dev/mapper/stor1-lv--stor1 on /mnt/store type ext4 (rw,relatime,seclabel) /dev/sdc1 on /mnt/usb type btrfs (rw,relatime,seclabel,compress=zstd:1,space_cache,subvolid=5,subvol=/)
