WebDav support

[func0der]

Did you check if a similar feature request has already been reported? Yes

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Kinda. I am trying to sync a todo list via a Nextcloud sync which is mounted via WebDAV in linux. If I try to open the todo.txt from the aforementioned WebDav mount it does not show the mount in the file chooser. Since that does not work, I have to copy the files from the mount to the hard disk and open it from there.

Describe the solution you'd like I'd like to be able to open WebDav mounts from within sleek, so that I do not have to keep a separate copy of my files.

Describe alternatives you've considered The only alternative to solve this for me would be to use the NextCloud sync client to have a proper copy of the files on my hard drive. I do want to avoid that.

I checked if this might be related to the Flatpak installation of Sleek, but it seems that it is not Flatpak related. The other idea I stumbled over is the fact that Sleek is an Electron app and that the JS filesystem implementation might impose that limitation somehow. I am not sure about this though.

I am also not sure if this might be a bug or actually a "missing" feature.

@func0der thanks for suggesting it. I havn't read into it deeply to be honest, but I think this problem is connected to Flatpaks sandbox concept: https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/sandbox-permissions.html

Can you try to mount Nextcloud in your home directory and without sudo? Maybe this already solves the issue, because the home directory is whitelisted by the Flatpak sandbox.

Also can you try to download the AppImage build (here on Github) and just check real quick, if its file chooser is showing your webdav mount?

@ransome1 I thought so, too, but "Ungoogled Chromium" works just fine as a Flatpak. I can see the webdav share when I navigate to "other locations". The AppImage seems to work, too.
