In the future. +## Why does RetroDECK need the filesystem=host permission? + +`filesystem=host` is the only permission that allows you full access to `/media` and `/mnt`. + +The users wants to be able to move or use files in different directories, sdcards and external disks in the file system. + +We had a lower level permission before but with access to all the gaming devices and more things the flathub developers recommend us to raise the permission level. + +The best solution would be if there where more granular permissions in flatpak and flathub: + +- External storage devices +- General usb devices +- Gaming devices (often needs even more access). +- ETC.. + +We have provided feedback to the developers regarding this and they are looking into it for the future. As soon as more granular permissions are available we will switch to those. + ## Are you related anyway to Batocera? No, but RetroDECK had some dialog before the project started with some of the Batocera crew if there were any plans to start a Batocera non-OS application (there were no plans at that moment and their focus is to make the best retro gaming operative system).
