Wrong default saving location, & beyond that user can not change it !

[Nokia808]

Hi. I tried this package. I noticed that default saving location when I tried to save newly created PDF is pointed to wrong location which is:

run/user/1000/doc/--------

where ------- is something like "kfdjuh37"

I faced with such issue with pdfslicer & it's developer fix it - see: junrrein/pdfslicer#72

Also, I faced with such issue with PDF Mix - see: https://gitlab.com/scarpetta/pdfmixtool/issues/13

The diffirence with Master PDF Editor is that even when I select other location like /home/myusername/Desktop & save, the document saved to same wrong location !! So, in pdfslicer & PDF Mix it was possible to overcome this issue when user change location to other one. But with Master PDF Editor even this work around not working at all !

Oof I overestimated how friendly this was to portals, try passing --filesystem=home while running until I fix this tomorrow.

Hmm this actually seems to be working just fine over here. Are you just hitting the normal Save button or something else?

To reproduce this issue I do the following:

Launch application | click "create blank PDF" | try to add any thing to new PDF, like adding a text | click on "Save" from "File" list of Master PDF Editor bar

you will see what I describe to you.

By the way, though not on topic but I did not find better place to bring hint about, there are other 2 closed source PDF applications:
PDF Studio Viewer (Free of charge) & PDF Studio (Paid):
https://www.qoppa.com/
https://www.qoppa.com/pdfstudioviewer/

Also, it is nice to add flatpak on FlatHub for Mega.nz applications (desktop application, command line tool, chat application)(fully open source):
https://mega.nz/sync
https://mega.nz/linux/MEGAsync/
https://mega.nz/sourcecode
https://github.com/meganz/

& for pCloud application (closed source):
https://www.pcloud.com/
https://www.pcloud.com/download-free-online-cloud-file-storage.html
Though it is closed source, but it is currently the only cloud storage which give life time plan with up to 2 TB for just 350$ & this is attractive for many users. I'm myself thinking to join it for buying such plan.

Its is nice to find them on FlatHub. I'm not understand why upstream developers are interested in AppImage & snap more than flatpak !

I am struggling with the same problem $HOME access would solve this I guess. Is there an update in this regard possible?
