After many years of absence, I am trying to get back into soulseek using Nicotine+.
Installed it through Flatpak on a debian based system. Application seems to work fine... except: clicking the "Add" button on the Shares pane of the settings menu does nothing. No dialog opens, no error message is shown, just nothing. Is it a known bug with an easy fix?
EDIT / SOLVED: appearantly when one logs into a remote desktop session, the file picker sometimes crashes. For anyone encountering same issues: login directly instead of remotely, or use suggested solve: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/file-chooser-does-not-open-for-flatpak-applications-f40-sway/126351/4
Thanks, this is great help indeed. I rarely use flatpak, not very familiar with it. It turns out the home folder was already allowed for Nicotine+, the issue appears to be that Nicotine+ is not allowed to "call" the opening of the dialog box to select the folder to use as shared...
ok, it worked... the problem was appearantly that is was using xrdp to remotely login to a desktop session, and then for some reason the filepicker crashes: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/file-chooser-does-not-open-for-flatpak-applications-f40-sway/126351/4
I did not use the bandaid workaround, but instead gained access to the device directly instead of remote desktopping and then the file or folderpicker worked just fine...
Oh interesting, thanks for reporting back, glad you worked it out
