As stated in the title: Whenever I use the file selection dialog, be it to open a file ore save one, insert an image etc. I can navigate the file system, but symbolic links won’t show, nor will nfs shares.
I’ve looked around for posts on similar issues, but those are mostly about not being able to save to nfs shares and so. Permissions aren’t the problem, I’m quite sure, since all my other apps show/access the symlinked and nfs folders without problems.
In case its relevant: I have LO version 24.8.3.2 on Ubuntu 24.04
I appreciate any pointers. Thanks for reading.
It’s a container installation, isn’t it? So the whole software is somewhat isolated from the operating system. Ask your Ubuntu support how to get symlinks, shares and the /tmp directory.
Dang! Snap raises its ugly head again…
I’ll post a solution here if I get one.
Thanks for the heads-up @Villeroy
