Describe the bug
Dear community,
System: Linux Arch
Bottles Installation: flatpak
Case: I installed a bottle/game on a external SSD.
Problem: It disappeared after two weeks/updates because of the wrong temporary mount path
Wrong Path: /run/user/1000/doc/9c1f3901/SSD_256GB/SSD256GB_rockstar
At all its my mistake that i havent choosen the correct static mount path /media/SSD...
BUT it would be a lot more user friendly, if there would be some sign if the bottle path isnt "online" anymore
instead of just dissapearing and inform no nothing.
Solution was to change the path in two files:
=internal bottle directory, placeholder.yml pointing at the external SSD with the actual bottle/game on it
/.var/app/com.usebottles.bottles/data/bottles/bottles/SSD256GB_rockstar/placeholder.yml
Path: /run/user/1000/doc/9c1f3901/SSD_256GB/SSD256GB_rockstar
to /media/SSD_256GB/SSD256GB_rockstar
and
in the external SSD with the actual bottle/game on
/media/SSD_256GB/SSD256GB_rockstar/bottle.yml
Path: /run/user/1000/doc/9c1f3901/SSD_256GB/SSD256GB_rockstar
to
Path: /media/SSD_256GB/SSD256GB_rockstar
Thanks, in advance.
