Flatpak packages are by default sandboxed and it is up to the packager to specify what it is allowed to access. Likely some permission is missing from there. Come to think of it that may well be the reason for the missing trace file, if the app cannot access the specified folder.

Re: [GNC] GNUcash 3.2 file open issue
Just an update. I have been converting from LM18.3 to LM 19 on my desktop and didn't have it setup for building GnuCash for the past week which is why I was using the flatpack version. I've just completed building GnuCash 3.2 from sources in LM 19 with all the options and I now see USB sticks in the sidebar and can open them. Other Locations is not however showing shares from my NAS but I usually mount these into directories under my home directory and they are accessible from there. It may be the flatpak version that is limiting access. I will build v3.2 on LM18.3 on my laptop tomorrow to see if it is OS or flathub.

Re: [GNC] GNUcash 3.2 file open issue
Additional information. The GTK FileChooser dialog has a "local-only" property which by default is true and has setters and getters to access it.(https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkFileChooser.html#gtk-file-chooser-get-uris) - The “local-only” property “local-only” gboolean Whether the selected file(s) should be limited to local file: URLs. Flags: Read / Write Default value: TRUE --- gtk_file_chooser_set_local_only () void gtk_file_chooser_set_local_only (GtkFileChooser *chooser, gboolean local_only); Sets whether only local files can be selected in the file selector. If local_only is TRUE (the default), then the selected file or files are guaranteed to be accessible through the operating systems native file system and therefore the application only needs to worry about the filename functions in GtkFileChooser, like gtk_file_chooser_get_filename(), rather than the URI functions like gtk_file_chooser_get_uri(), On some systems non-native files may still be available using the native filesystem via a userspace filesystem (FUSE). Parameters chooser a GtkFileChooser local_only TRUE if only local files can be selected -- gtk_file_chooser_get_local_only () gboolean gtk_file_chooser_get_local_only (GtkFileChooser *chooser); Gets whether only local files can be selected in the file selector. See gtk_file_chooser_set_local_only() Parameters chooser a GtkFileChooser Returns TRUE if only local files can be selected. -- not sure how this property affects usb mounts and network shares.

Re: [GNC] GNUcash 3.2 file open issue
I think that David Cousens is closing in on the problem. I have seen that GnuCash 2.6.17 in Ubuntu 16.04 cannot always see network mounted servers, but on my LAN it appears that it is important to assign the correct domain name when mounting the server with Nautilus.

Re: [GNC] GNUcash 3.2 file open issue
John, I'm not really sure what GIMP uses as a UI toolkit. I showed the Libre- Office one primarily because on my system it was almost identical in appearance and function to the dialog window from Gnucash apart from the missing USB mount and network mounts. I have explored a few other (non GTK) apps I use and whether they see the network an USB mounts is highly variable. As another user pointed out it isn't exactly a show stopper as you can always transfer a file elsewhere using Nemo or the OS facilities. I'm also not very familiar with GTK3 either at this stage. I would guess they wrap the basic OS file and network access routines. I'll have a bit of a dig around the documentation and see if I can unearth anything useful. Firefox which uses GTK3 has reported network access issues in its file dialog on AskUbuntu (https://askubuntu.com/questions /764272/upload-dialogs-for-firefox-and-chrome-now-differ-ffs-doesnt- include-network-d). This post on unix stack exchange, https://unix.sta ckexchange.com/questions/198996/prevent-the-gtk-file-dialog-from- listing-mount-points, indicates that there is a way of stopping GTK from accessing mounted devices by the udev configuration, so maybe I can use the info to enable it. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/3 04345 for Audacious also reports similar problems and a fix. Will give it a try later today. I have some of the network mounts done in fstab and others for devices which may or may not be available using autofs so that may also be a source for differences within Linux.

David, LibreOffice has it's own GUI toolkit; it can wrap Gtk or Qt or it can use its own dialogs. Are you sure that GIMP is on Gtk3? I thought that they were still working on converting.

I am running 2.1.19 from the Ubuntu repo on Ubuntu 18.04 and can click File > Open, then select File System in the left hand pane of the dialog and can browse to any of the root directories with no problem.

Re: [GNC] GNUcash 3.2 file open issue
Yes, a bug, but perhaps in Ubuntu and its derivatives rather than GnuCash, or perhaps the Ubuntu package. Using a Debian Stable VM in the GnuCash File>Open dialog, when I select "Computer" from "Other Locations" I get a full listing of my root directory and have no trouble navigating the /media directory. If I mount a USB drive it shows up as its own item in the sidebar which, when selected, reveals its path as /media/john/74AB-2AA0. I can navigate to that path starting from the root directory as well as use the sidebar item. Regards, John Ralls > On Jul 27, 2018, at 8:55 AM, Adrien Monteleone > wrote: > > Yep, a bug for sure.

Yep, a bug for sure. I’m curious why GC creates its own file/print dialogs when they could instead call the native OS dialogs.

Re: [GNC] GNUcash 3.2 file open issue
Adrien, David, The same issue occurs in Linux Mint 19(Tara) which is Ubuntu 18.04 based. Nemo (file explorer) can see the mounted USB stick and access it directly or via the /media// mount point for the device but the Gnucash file open dialog neither sees the USB stick or /media// mount point when you click on other locations. It only lists a restricted set of the directories under / by comparison with what can be accessed from Nemo. Not being able to access the /media mount points would qualify as a bug. On LM19 /media has 755 permissions, the user directory under it has 750 and the mounted USB stick has 755 permissions. The file->Open dialog in LibreOffice which looks to be a similar GTK3 dialog does display the USB stick in the sidebar and it sees all the directories under / as well as any networked locations which don't show up in GnuCash either. if no-one has already filked a bug i will put one in later today.

Re: [GNC] GNUcash 3.2 file open issue
As Mint is based on Ubuntu you *might* be facing the read-only usb bug. (which seems to keep reappearing after being allegedly fixed) What are the permissions on the parent folder for the mount point of the drive? And then the same for the gnucash folder and files? (I’m looking for either octals like ‘755’ or the string type like ‘wrxwrx-r-’) And, I know this sounds terrible for Linux, but does a log-out/in or a system restart magically make the external drive read-write? (a strong indication of the aforementioned bug) Regards, Adrien > On Jul 26, 2018, at 4:15 PM, Don Pawluk wrote: > > Gave it a try.

Re: [GNC] GNUcash 3.2 file open issue
I have a similar problem in Ubuntu 16.04 with release 2.6.17 from some repo. I can open that instance of GnuCash remotely from Windows 7 via SSH and if Ubuntu is already running with the file server where the data resides already mounted, everything works. If I want to change to a different data file on the same server, I have a problem, because the GnuCash file open dialog cannot seem to get to run/user/1000/gvfs/smb-share:server=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where it has already opened the current data file. If I sit at the Ubuntu user desktop I can navigate to that server and see all the sub-folders and files and click on them to open them with GnuCash, but my goal is to do it remotely with SSH. I tried starting nautilus remotely through SSH once but that hosed Windows so badly that I had to re-boot Windows.

Re: [GNC] GNUcash 3.2 file open issue
Gave it a try. Can open the file, but only as read-only and it will not save back to the original location. Creates a temporary directory \run\users\doc\1a36500 and puts files there. the files disappear when GNUcash is closed. Have full access to read & write to the source directory when not in GNUcash, but it does not seem to have write access. Thanks for the suggestion.
