Permission denied when trying to access external harddrive in OpenComic

Question

I have an external usb harddrive, which I usually use on a windows pc. It has NTFS. When I connect it with my ubuntu pc, it works immediately. I can access it in terminal and in nautilus. But when I try to open a file/folder from the app OpenComic, I get permission denied as shown in the screenshot. Help appreciated.

Is OpenComic a snap app? Or installed via apt/repository. ? – kanehekili Jun 05 '23 at 23:01 — kanehekili, Jun 05 '23 at 23:01

The question has been answered here.

The solution is that snap app needs to have the removable-media plug enabled in order to access USB storage and other drives.
