> Hi there,

Hi, Martin,

> I want to use `cherrytree` (a GTK+ note taking application) also on my Guix system and found the flatpak release. The installation of flatpak and this app from flathub worked fine so far but the app fails to open the file chooser dialog if I want to open/import any file.

For what it's worth, I use the GNOME desktop, and that problem is common in most of the applications I've tried from flatpak before. I remember Firefox and Jami having the same problem (I don't know if the same error, though, I never checked). But some other apps don't have that problem (e.g. Glade, Builder).
