10:08:38 Pictures permission: ERROR can not write in /home/pschonmann/Obrázky

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Just run with flatpak run com.github.vkohaupt.vokoscreenNG
2. See error

Expected behavior
Just run :)

Additional context
Directory Obrázky is symlink to another drive
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Mar 1 2025 /home/pschonmann/Obrázky -> /data/Obrázky

[pschonmann]

For complete rights, i have permission to that folder on data as owner. Probably something wrong with rights in flatpak

pschonmann@guzzlord:~$ ls -lash /
4.0K drwxr-xr-x  20 pschonmann pschonmann 4.0K Nov  1 22:25 data

pschonmann@guzzlord:~$ ls -lash /data/
4.0K drwxr-xr-x  2 pschonmann pschonmann 4.0K Jan  8 09:29 Obrázky

sudo chmod go+w /data/Obrázky/ doesnt resolve issue too

The bug you reported has been fixed.
Version 4.8.3 is now available as a Flatpak on Flathub.
VokoscreenNG should no longer crash on startup, and the graphical user interface should now appear.
Flatpak from Flathub is configured very restrictively, allowing access only to the home directory.
To access other drives, Flatpak must be configured accordingly.
Please open a terminal and enter the following:
flatpak --user override --filesystem=host com.github.vkohaupt.vokoscreenNG

Please donate so we can continue developing vokoscreenNG.
