How exactly?
Flatseal is a gui for the rights management of flatpaks you can change there what access a given application has e.g. filesystem access to directories.
Yeah, I mean I went through that to an unsuccessful result. So I was asking what values should people write in which fields.
Oh, well it depends where you have mounted your drives on.
you can do that in your file browser, your partition manager or via console with
lsblk.Gnome Disks:
File Browser:
Console:
and add them in the file access list under "Other files".
restart Steam so that those new permissions can be applied.
it's an app on Flatpak called Flatseal, it's a GUI to give flatpaks permissions and such.
Yeah I know, but what do you do with it to be able to use other drives? I tried everything I could when I was using other distros before I settled on Bazzite.
I recommend reading up and learning more about flatpaks and their sandboxing. Flatseal is just a GUI implementation of the flatpak CLI.

You can also very quickly download Flatseal for yourself to put your own eyes on it. Everything is labeled and has tooltips.
