A developer installed an IDE from Flathub with Flatpak (application ID com.foocorp.Studio). The IDE launches, but it cannot open projects kept in /opt/dev because the sandbox blocks access. You must grant the IDE permanent read-and-write access to /opt/dev while leaving every other Flatpak permission unchanged. Which single command accomplishes this goal?
flatpak run --filesystem=/opt/dev com.foocorp.Studio
The flatpak override sub-command writes persistent per-application settings in $XDG_DATA_HOME/flatpak/overrides. Adding --filesystem=/opt/dev grants the specified Flatpak app read/write access to that path every time it starts. Using the same option with flatpak run would work only for that one session. snap connect adjusts Snap interfaces and has no effect on a Flatpak install. Changing host ACLs with setfacl does not bypass the Flatpak sandbox, so the IDE would still be denied. Therefore the correct solution is to run flatpak override --filesystem=/opt/dev com.foocorp.Studio.
