I have a lot of files in Recent, and I can see them in apps like LibreWriter.
But when I want to upload a file somewhere form Chromium, I don't see those files in Recent.
This is really annoying because every time I want to open the file I just worked on (screenshot, document etc.) in Chrome, I need to navigate to its folder. After I upload a file, it appears in Chrome's Recent, but new recent files created in other apps, do not. This makes Recent useless in Chromium.
Is this because of the short-sighted sandboxing due to snap? How can I make Recent function normally?
--devmodewhich allows snaps to run without sandboxing, IIUC. So,sudo snap remove package_namefollowed bysudo snap install package_name --devmode. See https://askubuntu.com/questions/783945/what-is-devmode-for-snaps/. – DK Bose May 16 '20 at 02:05.desktoplaunched for Chromium snap, worked to let it properly access Recents. – Dan Dascalescu Jun 17 '20 at 17:08
