I've got Blender 2.79c installed using Flatpak. When trying to load filed from a removable USB drive, I find there's no /mnt nor /media.

I'm pretty sure this is because of Flatpak's sandboxing.

How is Flatpak supposed to handle this kind of situation? I would expect the flatpak runtime to ask the user for permission and mount whatever resource into the sandboxed fs.

Found no mention of it in the help or anything...

Ok, so after having this question in draft for 3 hours, I finally posted it. Then immediately found the answer to my own question.

To make this simple, this is what I had to run:

flatpak run --filesystem=/media --filesystem=/mnt org.blender.Blender

Of course I'll try to update the .desktop file now. But this is basically what's needed: add specific paths to the filesystem option or something like that…
