[GNC-dev] gnucash-on-flatpak master: Relax default sandbox restrictions to allow filesystem access to the complete host system

[Geert Janssens]

Unfortunately no. Printing in flatpak requires the code that implements 
printing to implement a printing portal. Gtk has done so, but libwebkit 
hasn't. That's why you can print checks, but not reports.

Regards,

Geert
