XMind 8 file access for non-"working-directory" user folders gives "The folder contents could not be displayed" error
by hbbeam from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5PMDY)
I have XMind 8 installed (via flatpak)on Linux Mint 20.2
At the same time, I'm using odrive's CLI to sync cloud files from various cloud drives that I have. The root folder for my cloud files is under my user file (alongside of Documents)
I have synced one my XMind files and it shows in the file manager.
However, when I try to open files from XMind, it only shows what I would described as "standard" user folders. The odrive-agent-mount folder does not show. When trying to override this by going to the "type a path" option, I get an error message that says "The folder contents could not be displayed".
My guess is that XMind has some limiter to only show "user" files. Of course I can copy the file to a "working" directory and copy it back, but it adds extra steps to the syncing that I'd rather avoid. I'm wondering if there is a way to designate my odrive-agent-mount folder as "working" directory for XMind that I'm missing. I don't see anything in XMind to set directories, and everything that I see for setting "default" directories is more about $PATH and I don't think that's going to help here.
I checked permission with ls -l and the odrive-agent-mount folder shows drwxrwxr-x.
