Filebot ignores filesystem it thinks is RO

[fbicknel]

Hi there...

So I have this filesystem called /vsw that has some things I'd like to rename under it. When I try to load from there, the directory is missing from the list of things I'm allowed to browse: Screenshot

I have access to the files I'm trying to get to as shown here.

I've also tried entering the full path to the subdirectory I want in the Location bar. Alas, the message The folder contents could not be displayed is shown as in the previous screenshot.

I'm not the owner of these files, but I do have access to the files by way of group membership:

Code: Select all

bick-ubtu3 ~$ grep fbicknel /etc/group
[...]
deluge:x:130:fbicknel
media:x:1001:fbicknel

stuff:

Code: Select all

bick-ubtu3 ~$ /snap/bin/filebot -script fn:sysinfo

Any suggestions?

SNAP applications have limited filesystem access, and have no access at all to anything in the root directory / or anything that doesn't belong to you.

You can disable confinement by installing the SNAP with the --devmode option:
viewtopic.php?f=11&t=5984

Alternatively, you can use the classic DEB package, which will behave the way you expect in regards to permissions:
