Flatpak version limitations

FSearch can be installed as a Flatpak, which enforces a certain type of sandboxing, for security reasons. However this also means that FSearch will have limited functionality when it is installed this way. The know limitations are:

The Open action doesn't open files directly

When you double click a file, or hit <Enter> or select the Open menu entry in the context menu, the file won't be opened directly. Instead, a dialog shows up, where you need to select the application you want to use. After selecting the same application a couple of times (usually 3) for a particular file type, the choice will be remembered and from then on files of that type will be opened directly with that application.

Reason: Flatpak doesn't allow FSearch to access information about installed applications. Therefore FSearch can't determine the default application for a particular file type and needs to ask the system to open the file instead, which then shows up the dialog.

The Open with sub menu doesn't list any applications

For the same reasons as above, FSearch can't populate the Open with context menu with applications.

Not every file and folder can be found

The contents of /etc, /usr, etc. are not consistent with the actual system folders
