Flatseal VS MonoDevelop

And not only that, the idea of portals is, IMO, misguided. See this view/bugreport when a flatseal user understands that even though they restricted permissions to access a certain area, the flatpak, itself, can ask to open files there and if OK'd that will be allowed. Their expectation is that with the overrides say "no access" it means "no access even if the flatpak asks very nicely". https://github.com/tchx84/Flatseal/issues/196

Since you installed the programme via Flatpak, you should simply lack the necessary rights (https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/sandbox-permissions.html). You can extend the rights quite easily with https://github.com/tchx84/flatseal.

Yes, filed https://github.com/tchx84/Flatseal/issues/196 a while ago, got no joy.

One design feature than can turn into an issue in some scenarios (usually dev tools) is the permissions of a flatpak. In case I need to tweak things, I use Flatseal. I know you can manually do this from the command line but I don’t change permissions that often so I don’t bother learning how to do that.

Does the Flatpak Permissions Settings replace a tool like Flatseal?

What about flatseal then ? https://github.com/tchx84/Flatseal

https://github.com/tchx84/Flatseal (Also on Discover. For security reasons, the Discover store installs apps as sandboxed "flatpak" apps. This one is used to view what each up can do and change the permissions of apps. May be required if the sandboxing breaks something, though usually not required.)

I believe it does. As an example if I try running Godot from the Steam flatpak, it won't be able to see any of the contents of my ~/Projects folder unless I explicitly allow the steam flatpak access to that directory that via flatpak's CLI options or using Flatseal

An older version of the underlying source code remains available: https://github.com/mono/monodevelop

From what I understand MonoDevelop has been discontinued. Even their repo has been archived.

SharpDevelop and MonoDevelop are both dead and focused for devs which gives them different priority than apps targeted at non-devs, but they show how to put together seriously complex apps, and they're the ancestor of the Visual Studio for Mac.

Monodevelop

There are Linux binaries for MonoDevelop which is what VS for Mac is based on.

Using Visual Studio with Wine is not really possible. But you have other IDEs as options. You can pack Visual Studio Code with the needed plugins. You can use MonoDevelop which is the IDE from the Mono project https://www.monodevelop.com/. Something to add here, the Mono project is actually developed by Microsoft. And there is Jetbrains Rider, I personally use it every day at work and am kind of in love, but it costs you 139 € in the first year.
