Ungoogled does not create data with --user-data-dir

[lejeczek]

Hi guys.

This is Flatpak variant on Fedora, when I run Ungoogled with --user-data-dir then every next start is like nothing happened, a fresh new start & the path given to above argument remains empty. Also Ungoogled does not complain nor error out anything.
This is an eg.:

-> $ flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=/app/bin/chromium --file-forwarding io.github.ungoogled_software.ungoogled_chromium --user-data-dir=/home/me/.var/app/io.github.ungoogled_software.ungoogled_chromium_UK @@

Does anybody sees this/similar - do you have it work with own, custom paths for user data?
many thanks, L.

Perhaps flatpak does not allow access to absolute paths and creates sandboxed one elsewhere?

Turns out Flatpak uses something it calls overrides

-> $ cat ~/.local/share/flatpak/overrides/io.github.ungoogled_software.ungoogled_chromium
[Context]
filesystems=/home/pe243/.var/app/io.github.ungoogled_software.ungoogled_chromium_PL
filesystems=/home/pe243/.var/app/io.github.ungoogled_software.ungoogled_chromium_UK

which enables us to - me in this case of Ungoogled - use "custom" paths.
