Can't access ~/Downloads contents of a JDownloader flatpak

Project Discussion

Hi:

Using org.jdownloader.JDownloader and I can’t access the contents downloaded at ~/Downloads outside flatpak.

Metadata ~/.local/share/flatpak/app/org.jdownloader.JDownloader/x86_64/stable/active/metadata file is:

[Application]
name=org.jdownloader.JDownloader
runtime=org.freedesktop.Platform/x86_64/18.08
sdk=org.freedesktop.Sdk/x86_64/18.08
tags=proprietary;
command=jd-wrapper

[Context]
shared=network;ipc;
sockets=x11;
filesystems=xdg-download;

[Environment]
PATH=/usr/bin:/app/bin:/app/jre/bin
JAVA_HOME=/app/jre

[Extra Data]
name=JD2Setup.sh

size=50621986
uri=http://installer.jdownloader.org/JD2Setup_x64.sh

[Build]
built-extensions=org.jdownloader.JDownloader.Sources;

The application downloads to ~/Downloads (checked looking at lsof) but they don’t appear at the FS.

What I’m doing wrong?

From inside the Flatpak, can you see the files being saved across JDownloader instances? What does xdg-user-dir DOWNLOAD print?

Humm, how can I get inside the flatpak?

flatpak run --command=bash org.jdownloader.JDownloader

$ flatpak run --command=bash org.jdownloader.JDownloader
bash-4.4$ xdg-user-dir DOWNLOAD
/home/olea
bash-4.4$ exit

/home/olea/ is my user home.

So I can assume is a packaging bug, right?

Ack sorry I wasn’t clear, I meant, what if you run xdg-user-dir DOWNLOAD from your host system? From inside I only meant to check if the previously saved files still appeared. Sorry about that!
