Title:
[snap] No access to user config directory for separate app IDs
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
After the forced upgrade to the snap version of Chromium, all of my
Chrome app shortcuts stopped working.
I have several apps which I launch like this:
chromium-browser --user-data-dir=/home/hackel/.config/appname
--profile-directory=Default --app-id=abcdjdachboclehgmhnocadmlnkmehhi
They are now all broken.
So I can move my user-data-dir into ~/snap/chromium/current/.config and that
works fine, but what do I do about the custom icons? These were created in e.g.
~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/*/apps/chrome-abcdjdachboclehgmhnocadmlnkmehhi-Default.png
for all 5 different icon sizes. But the corresponding snap icon directories
are all broken symlinks to /snap/chromium/881/data-dir/icons/hicolor/64x64.
(There actual directory structure ends with an empty icons directory.) A snap
running as a user wouldn't be able to write to those directories anyway, right?
Or does snapd have some mechanism to allow that?
If I try to use the Create Shortcut function in Chromium, I get this error 14
times:
LaunchProcess: failed to execvp:
xdg-desktop-menu
It doesn't actually create any .desktop or icons that I can find
anywhere on the filesystem.
Is there time to restore the old deb package? This snap is just *not*
ready for prime time!
