Nice! It's good to know it already works. :)
BTW, what about sandboxing & file access ?
Let's say I try to run (a hypothetical) example:
flatpak run com.example.inkscape --svg-to-png /home/user/foo.svg
As the file is outside of the sandbox what will happen ? Will it fail
to access the file or will the user be asked to confirm access to it
?
I guess one could also just enable $HOME access for the app in a case
like this, but still.
I've filed
https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/543 for a related
issue in desktop file Exec lines.
