snap - how to grant permanent permission to read folder
This is the intentional behavior of snapd and hard-coded into source code.
This feature, opening files in snapd, is new (about seven month old). As I understand the developers are conservative and prompt is to prevent any security issues. The discussion about subject in forum.snapcraft.io and pull request that introduced new feature.
I got this solved in two steps:
- remove chromium-browser from snap:
snap remove chromium-browser(snap listto check if the browser is in the snap list) - install the browser traditionally:
sudo apt install chromium-browser
