[GNC] Gnucash 3.7 - flatpak cannot recognize second internal HDD & USB Flashdrive

[parag puranik]

 I am new to Linux shell commands. Please advise on how to use the filesystem command :--filesystem=$PATH_TO_USB_DRIVEAssuming my device name is /media/John/JETFLASH
--filesystem=$PATH_TO_USB_DRIVE

 Hi Parag,
You should read the wiki re flatpak - https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Flatpak, specifically the following :-
How did you go with your csv file ?

Configuration

Granting Access to Other Resources

As each Flatpak app runs in a sandbox, you have to unlock additionally required resources like
   
   - USB Drive
      -    sudo flatpak override org.gnucash.GnuCash --filesystem=$PATH_TO_USB_DRIVE

   - Smartcard Reader
      - To use smart cards in AqBanking      
      - on the host—your Linux PC—the demon pcscd must be running,
      - the related socket must become unlocked for your GnuCash-Flatpak once:      sudo flatpak override org.gnucash.GnuCash --socket=pcsc



sudo may be required depending on the rest of your installation.

My existing system : Mint 19.3 Cinnamon -32 bit with latest updates - (installed on internal SSD) and Gnucash default version 2.6.19. I upgraded Gnucash through Software manager to Build : 3.7+(2019-09-07) -Flatpak. It was successfully installed while keeping my existing default version 2.6.19 intact. My Gnucash working files are stored on attached USB flash drive which I want to open and work upon through Menu>File>open . . . However on doing so my attached (i) second internal HDD and (ii) USB flash drive are not visible at all (even in "+other locations"). Only files in Home folder are visible.  On the other hand, on opening through the earlier ver 2.6.19 these devices are still very well visible. Why this anomaly ? and what is the solution ?
