filesystem values with semicolon not displayed correctly

Open taukakao opened this issue 7 months ago • 1 comments

If a path contains a semicolon, flatpak will escape it with a backslash. For example: filesystems=~/Documents/my\;folder/foo This gives the application access to: ~/Documents/my;folder/foo

Flatseal will display this path as two different folders: ~/Documents/my\ and folder/foo

Unfortunately, this an old and annoying limitation I haven't addressed.

TLDR; the way I serialize certain values it's "designed" to make tests easier to write and read, and to address it properly it would require to make tests harder to write and read.
