Hello reviewers,

This is a follow on request very similar to Request auto-connection of personal-files for platform-bible snap - #2 by jslarraz.

  • name: paratext-10-studio
  • description: Software Bible translation tool
  • snapcraft: We’re using electron-builder so there isn’t a full snapcraft file available, but here is very similar electron config for the personal-files interface we’re requesting. Note that we change this from dot-platform-bible to dot-paratext-10-studio and the folder from .platform.bible to .paratext-10-studio.
  • upstream: The repo is private but under Paranext · GitHub
  • upstream-relation: I am one of the developers working on this project.
  • interfaces:
    • personal-files:
      • request-type: auto-connection
      • reasoning: Our software is intended to run on Linux, Windows, and macOS. The application directory that stores user data and settings has been standardized across all OSes to be the {USER_HOME_DIRECTORY}/.paratext-10-studio. We may need to distribute the application in Linux on forms other than a snap, so we want to make sure the snap is able to read and write to the actual directory within the user’s home directory. Also, we don’t want user data to be lost if they remove the snap and have not uploaded it somewhere.

Thanks, Matt

Given the snap is the clear owner of the requested personal-files, +1 from me

+1 also from me for the same reason as @cav

Thanks, @cav and @jslarraz . I think that’s a +2. Is there something else on my end needed to apply this to my application?

Hi @lyonsil - Nothing left on your end to do! We just have to wait for the 7 days voting period to end so we can tally votes and give other reviewers a chance to vote if they want.

After this (assuming it’s approved), we will go ahead and make the changes to allow this request. Thanks!
