How to give a Flatpak app access to a directory

I installed Elisa music player from Flathub, but it refuses to see my Music partition, so I can't add any music to it's library unless I copy it to /home/my_user/.



Is there a way to give a Flatpak application permission to access non canonical addresses?



Aside from specifying it when compiling it...

          You can do this via the command line. The specific command you need is (it may need to be run as sudo):



          flatpak override <package_name_here> --filesystem=<path_here>



          If you have an odd path & it complains about an "unexpected filesystem suffix", just put the path part in quotes.
