Unable to create a fork of the Flathub repository

The reviewers were also arrogant.

They even questioned what I said about accessing the GTK themes folder; one of the most basic things about Qt apps is the existence of the gtk3 platformtheme.

They continued questioning the need for static permissions, as if I didn’t understand anything about what’s needed for Wine and Proton to function correctly.

Zordeer was built on Flathub; Zordeer can use the XDG Base Directory, it even uses the Document Portal to access folders instead of specific files.

But the Document Portal doesn’t work well with Wine/Proton, which means static permissions are really necessary.

I wouldn’t waste so much time discussing this if using the Document Portal solved the problem.

Look at this screenshot, this is a warning from Bottles, an app that has been around much longer than Zordeer. The Bottles manifest doesn’t have any --filesystem=, and even they know that it’s better for the app to have direct access to the files than to use the Document Portal.
