This will help snap to create that dir, by default it doesn’t exists in user local data and to copy files of servicemenus to integrate right click menu for files/dirs of app under dolphin.

  winrar-cfg:
    interface: personal-files
    write:
      - $HOME/.local/share/kservices5

Hey @mmtrt,

I am +1 for use of personal-files with write access to $HOME/.local/share/kservices5 to allow the right click experience but since the winrar snap is not the clear owner of the directory, I am -1 for allowing the auto-connection. Can other @reviewers please vote?

Also, could you please rename the interface reference so it better represent the access being granted? (i.e. dot-local-share-kservices5).

Thanks!

-1 from me for access to this directory - from what I understand this allows a snap to configure a service menu entry which the dolphin browser will then allow to be executed from dolphin itself. This then allows a snap to escape confinement and so should not be granted IMO.

Thanks @alexmurray. That’s a very important concern and I am actually updating my vote to -1 then as well.
