Linux: SLADE cannot 'see' some root owned FSOs to which user has read access
SLADE Version
3.2.5
OS
Linux
Editor
Resource editor
Steps to Reproduce and Observed Behavior
- Go to 'Edit|Set Base Resource Archive' then click 'Add Archive'
- Browse to a directory containing doom2.wad -> /usr/share/doom2/doom2.wad
- SLADE correctly identifies the file as a symlink in the directory listing
- Click the file
- SLADE replies 'Please choose an existing file'
- Try to browse to the original file
- SLADE's file browser cannot 'see' /usr/share/doom2
- Additionally, using CTRL-L to edit the path as text fails
- /usr/share/doom2 -> /usr/share/games/doom2/1.9 is itself a symbolic link
- But SLADE cannot even 'see' /usr/share/games and that is an actual directory and not a link
- So that doesn't work either :(
Expected Behavior
- The file should be selected and added to the archive list.
- File browser should be able to 'see' root-owned files and folders for which the user has read access.
- Specifying the full path to root-owned files and folders for which the user has read access should work.
