User reports export to .md/txt doesn't work on Ubuntu 22 64bit GNOME
The following user reports that exporting .md/txt worked on his machine using the snap package, apparently using another it didn't work (he didn't yet mention what package was used).
His system specs:
Intel® Core™ i5-4200U CPU @ 1.60GHz × 4
Ubuntu 22.04.05 LTS 64-bit
Wayland
GNOME Version 42.9
I'll try to get more information from him.
It's most likely the Flatpak package. I tested it and I can't use the export feature either.
I haven't taken a deeper look into this, but it's most likely caused by the very restricted filesystem access our Flatpak package has.
As a temporary workaround, users can allow Notes unrestricted access to their home folder, by overriding the default sandbox permissions our app has, i.e.:
flatpak --user override --filesystem=home io.github.nuttyartist.notes
Notes must be restarted after that.
Wait, actually, forget everything I wrote above.
I must have tested a different option when I wrote that, lol. It's really late in the night here, my bad.
Now I really did test the export feature (little cog wheel > Import/Export Notes > Export to .txt) on the Flatpak package, and it was able to successfully export all 13 notes I have.
