Full home directory access was removed in #70 after the discussion in #65, which unfortunately has led to a spate of confused people in the Zotero Forums and on Twitter not understanding why they can't see all their folders. (Most recent is here.)
Many Zotero users on Linux are unfamiliar with sandboxes (and/or don't even realize they're using a third-party package) and are confused by this behavior, which just seems like a bug in Zotero to them. As suggested by @danielwe in #65 (comment), it's common for people to want to interact with other parts of the home directory, both when using native Zotero functions and particularly when using plugins.
We (the Zotero team) would like to ask that full home directory access be restored, which brings this package more in line with Zotero's intended behavior. People who want more restrictive access can manually disallow access.
