Sorry to hijack the thread a bit, but since you're discussing the snap install I thought I'd ask. This is the first snap app I've ever used. I find the file browser for opening the DB won't show anything outside of my $HOME. I assume this is some sort of sandbox feature of snap apps. But I'd like to store my DB on a network mount, so that gets in the way unless I set up symlinks. Is there any way to get this to behave a bit more like a normal desktop program?

It is because of a sandbox feature. You can't easily disable it right now.

I would try the symlink approach for now. Possibly drop a file next to the DB on your share in case you have to do it again and don't remember.

Thanks for confirming. I'll string something together.
