Can not open Attachments

[mlthlschr]

C&P from official keepassXC github issue 1891. Looks like it is some kind of flatpak problem?!

I can not open any attachment in my KeepassXC. Within KeepassX it is possible.

Expected Behavior

Double-click an attachment of an entry should open it.

Current Behavior

Double-clicking the attachment of an entry leads to nothing happening.
Within Entry edit mode - Advanced - Open attachment leads to "Unable to open attachments: ... Cant open file ..."

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

Way A:

1. Choose entry with attached file
2. Check attachments tab
3. Double click attachment

Way B:

1. Double click entry with attached file (Edit entry mode)
2. Go to advanced
3. Choose attachment
4. Click "Open"

Context

Opening attachment.

This is probably an issue with the KeePassXC not being designed to work with portal API's. For example, we have similar issues like #13.

In other words it is something upstream is going to have to learn about and consider during development. Since KeePassXC is officially distributed as a snap, and snaps also are adopting the xdg-desktop-portal API's, there should be no lack of motivation.

Thanks to this issue, I got reminded about this and took the opportunity to inform the upstream developer team and offering my assistance.
