SweetHome3d Not Seeing My Data Partition in Linux
Hi All,
I've been using Linux for over 15 years and I can say this is a first. Sweet Home 3D is not seeing my main data partition. I separate /, /home, and /data, for various reasons.
lsblk output
├─sdb5 8:21 0 29.3G 0 part / ├─sdb6 8:22 0 24.4G 0 part /home ├─sdb7 8:23 0 222.7G 0 part /data
SweetHome3d Open Dialog
Additionally, my shortcuts to the /data/XXXX folders within my Home Folder are all missing in SH3D. Finally, permissions are pretty standard, 770, for the data partition.

Me too. I have also separate partitions for different purpose.

Normal. All other programs act the same (Libre Office, Inkscape, kate etc.) At start are mounted in system ONLY "/" and "/home". All other partitions have only shortcuts in file browser. First I need to click on it then insert the root password to mount it in the system. For many personal reasons I don't like to use sudo. After that I found it in file chooser (from every program) under: Root/media/ my_user_name / partition_name That's applicable for every new reboot or boot. At least that's the way I use my linux systems. I use debian with KDE. Hope is useful. P.S. An general advice: DON'T use the repository version. Use the installer version from this site.

It is mounted. LibreOffice and every other application sees the mount and I have permissions to access. It's literally just Sweet Home 3d. It's an EXT4 partition.

My partitions, NAS, server, RaspberryPi, all mounted with systemd the way I wrote it in my last post, are all accessible with Sweet Home 3D without any restrictions. And these are Ext4, FAT or NTFS partitions. So, for me systemd is the one and only thing to mount with (also because of many other options and features).

As can be seen, "/data" is just entirely missing from Sweet Home Dialog....it's extremely bizarre. I can see /data in LibreOffice and access it without a hitch.

Ok, other idea: normally you need root rights to access any folder or file in the root directory (they are read-only). So, could this be the reason for your issue?
