SweetHome3d Not Seeing My Data Partition in Linux

[jmadero]

nope:

drwxrwx--- 15 joel shared 4096 Jan 19 18:09 data


Owner is "joel" (my user), group is "shared" (my shared group with my wife and myself), perms are pretty straight forward 770. The fact that it works in literally every other application I use (pdf viewer, web browsers, libreoffice, text editors, handbrake, vlc, literally tens of programs) leads me to think that this is a bug in Sweet Home.

If this is a bug, it does not affect my system:





I created a "Data" folder like you have it in the root directory. Then I mounted a partition into this mount point.
And as you can see, I can access it via SweetHome3D.

[jmadero]

Thanks for testing that!

Okay - next question I have. Your distro and version of Sweet Home installed?

I'm running a Ubuntu derivative (Bodhi Linux, built on Ubuntu 18.04), used Snap to install Sweet Home.

[jmadero]

Bingo - it's the snap version. I just used the more generalized Linux version and it worked. If you have time to test the Snap version...then I can report the issue.

[UbuntuBirdy]

I do not need to test the snap version. On my Ubuntu 18.04 the snap version does NOT run!
I'm always running the latest sh3d downloaded from this site.

[jmadero]

I'll report my bug Thanks for the assistance. The fact that you did that last test made me think "what could possibly be different" and then that led to a workable solution.

[UbuntuBirdy]

Together we can solve every problem! This is why I'm working with Linux since many years!

This is why I'm working with Linux since many years!

Me too!
@jmadero

I'll report my bug

No problem! Don't forget the repository version, appimage, snap and what ever other UNOFFICIAL versions.
Don't forget also, for those versions, are not responsible Emmanuel.
