--- Comment #5 from David <kitt...@gmail.com> --- > All Flatpak have a private storage space in `.var/app/appid.foo.bar`. Most > applications don't need full storage access. Sure, matter is if they are aware of that, and try not to write/read anywhere else, which they typically do... > This is going to be an additional dialog that will be clicked through by > most users. Non Flatpak apps don't show a dialog warning that they have > access to everything on the system. Why should Flatpaks do when they > generally have even less access? Another good point, I presume this would make sense because one can choose permissions (even though after install), as opposed to regular apps where there is no choice. > Android now warns on first launch. This is something we could do but would > expose a lot of implementation details about applications. Ofc this would be the greatest solution. Imagine a calculator flatpak asking for mic&camera access, vastly improved UX. Also in legitimate cases, telegram flatpak asking for mic&camera, I only give mic. I don't understand when you say exposing a lot of implementation details if it's a minus for you or not. Personally I think regular users would accept that just like they do with smartphone OSs and maybe partially like it, whereas power users would surely appreciate. If you're speaking of dev effort, I'm no exactly into this specific question but I can imagine. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
