Prusa Slicer File Browser - On Manjaro - It's 2025 not 1990...

Hi!

Is this how a file browser should look like in 2025? 

Not showing any mounted network drives, not able to type in the address field and a side bar that is absolut useless. 

I know that on Linux (Manjaro in this case) there are limitation on the used UI-Toolkit but this is just not usable at all. 
Any plan to change this to something more usable?

BTW: the AppImage versions had no problem showing mounted network drives. So this might be a problem of Flatpak. 
And if you want to see how a proper file browser nowadays looks like, take a look at Blender's very convenient browser:

It is a limitation of flatpack.  There's several threads on here about it as well as multiple posts on the Prusa Slicer github.  So much so they had to sticky a post about it. 

Common fix is to use something called Flatseal.  https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer/issues/13820

Thanks for the workaround! 👍 
Great to hear that I'm not the only one... But the missing network links are just the tip of the iceberg. 
How hard can it be to program a proper file browser? (I guess programming such a slicer like this is MUCH harder...)
