Description Glenn Polsey 2023-05-06 02:26:56 UTC
Description:
I have a desktop PC 4 core, @ 3.40GHz, 32Gigs memory OS 64-bit,
Dual boot Ubuntu 22.04.02 LTS, GNOME version 42.5 on one drive
	  Windows 10 on its own drive.
I have a DATA drive that serves both drives.
I have run LibreOffice 7.3.7.2 (still operational)
 		       7.4.5.1 (Ubuntu didn't like it but it worked for me)
Both of these versions accessed other drives on my PC, including the DATA drive.
I upgraded with SNAP to 7.5.3.2.

The program will not access the DATA drive, only the Home/Linux/Documents.
I went to Tools/Options and selected Paths.
I found the Documents path;  clicked on it and selected Edit, no other drive can be accessed for a change. Why?
The other versions worked well in finding the DATA drive plus.
Note also, 7.5 would not access a thumb drive.
So, what am I missing? I did make sure the DATA drive and thumb drive were mounted.
I do not use outside sources for storage and I do not have a network. 
OK, I am up to suggestions or is this a missed item of programing?

And finally an onboard DATA drive is and has always worked when the OS drives have failed.
I am living proof this can happen.
Hope I provided enough info of the issue.

Tested with version 7.5.3.2 installed from https://snapcraft.io/libreoffice and had no issue accessing files, as long as I made sure the snap had the required permissions.

Can you please check that all relevant file access permissions are turned on when looking at the app in Ubuntu Software?
