Some of the apps I have installed as Flatpaks don’t show my folder shortcuts in the “Save As” dialog. For instance, here’s Mousepad:
By comparison, here’s LibreOffice Writer–also installed as a Flatpak–and it does show my bookmarks:
I can confirm in Flatseal that Mousepad can see my home directory, so I’m not sure where the problem lies:
I’m on Xubuntu 25.04, xfdesktop version 4.20.1, running on Xfce 4.20 with X11 and Thunar 4.20.2.
Hi, I just tried this on my Xebian install both with the flatpak and native application of mousepad and they both show the same as your screenshot. I can click on the plus and access other drives.
Is that what you mean ? I feel like that has always been the way?
Xfce 420 - X11 -Thunar
I’m still running Xfce 4.18 on another machine I will try that too.
My previous post I was wrong, my apologies. The Flatpak version of Mousepad does not display bookmarks in Thunar.
Xebian Xfce 4.20 Mousepad 0.6.5
I also tested this on Xfce 4.18, the native version of Mousepad 0.5.10 does display bookmarks.
The flatpak of Mousepad 0.6.5 does not display bookmarks.
It makes me think this is a flatpak issue not Xfce or a distribution issue.
@quinquadrate If the observation made by @ruenoak is correct then you need to address this with the flatpak maintainer directly.
While we certainly welcome such support requests there may be times when that support is limited, especially if it concerns bugs or non-functioning elements of the flatpak itself.
That’s fine. I didn’t realize it could be an issue with the Flatpak itself and was convinced it was a permissions problem that could be resolved on the OS side (especially since I have a couple other Flatpaks experiencing the same issue). I don’t mind filing a bug report. Would that be on the Mousepad repo or the Flathub manifest repo?
Since this appears to be a flatpak issue not a native app one, I believe the correct place to report it would be here:
