Manual review: `theme-sync`

Hey all!

• name: theme-sync
• description: Synchronize theme preferences across multiple terminal tools based on your GNOME appearance settings.
• snapcraft: https://github.com/jnsgruk/theme-sync/blob/main/snap/snapcraft.yaml
• upstream: GitHub - jnsgruk/theme-sync: Synchronize theme preferences across multiple terminal tools based on your GNOME appearance settings.
• upstream-relation: it’s me
• interfaces:
  • personal-files:
    • request-type: installation/connection
    • reasoning:the tool is designed to edit configuration files in the user’s $XDG_CONFIG_HOME directory to switch themes automatically based on GNOME’s light/dark mode setting changing

I don’t necessarily need this to be auto-connected, since it’s obviously quite a wide permission - but permission to upload to the store and install would be great.

Thanks!

Jon

Hey @jnsgruk

The requested personal-files plug is required for the core functionality of this snap. I agree it is a wide permission, but I’m ok with it considering we are only talking about manual connection. Thus +1 from me (#voteFor)

+1 from my end too, for manual connection of the personal-files interface. #voteFor

Hello! Echoing the above reviewers, access to personal config files is necessary for snap functionality, and can be expected by users. +1 (#voteFor) from me to allow manual connection for the personal-files interface for the theme-sync snap.

[jslarraz]

+3 for, 0 against granting theme-sync write access to $HOME/.config via a manually connected personal-files interface

This request can be fast-tracked. The publisher is vetted. This is now live.

Next revision uploaded to the store should pass automatic review
