User data read-only?

[mariomadproductions]

It seems to mount it under /var/lib/flatpak/app/io.github.Arisotura.CoinKiller/current/active/files/bin/coinkiller_data, which is read-only. So updating the sprite data fails, as does saving settings like the RomFS folder. This is on Linux Mint 20.3, with that flatpak installed via the Software Manager.

The user data is saved under ~/.var/app/io.github.Arisotura.CoinKiller/data/Blarg City/CoinKiller/coinkiller_data and the user config is saved under ~/.var/app/io.github.Arisotura.CoinKiller/config/Blarg City`. Both are writeable. The directory you mentioned contains program data but not user data. I' m able to save the settings. Could you take a look at the directories I mentioned?

Strange. What distro are you using?

This is how it is on my PC:

$ cd /var/lib/flatpak/app/io.github.Arisotura.CoinKiller/current/active/files/bin/coinkiller_data
$ ls
backgrounds         entrancetypes.txt  spritecategories.xml  tileoverlays
blank_course.bin    icons              spritedata.xml        tileoverrides
blank_level.sarc    languages          sprites               tilesetnames.txt
blank_tileset.sarc  levelnames.txt     tilebehaviors.xml     worldnames.txt
entrances           musicids.txt       tilecollisions
$ touch test
touch: cannot touch 'test': Permission denied
$ sudo touch test
[sudo] password for user:         
$ sudo rm test
$ cd ~/.var/app/io.github.Arisotura.CoinKiller/data/
$ ls
$ touch test
$ rm test

Why did you want to write to /var/lib/flatpak/app/io.github.Arisotura.CoinKiller/current/active/files/bin/coinkiller_data? You should not need to do this.

What distro are you using?

Manjaro. But this should not matter.

Ah, so this is just where the default files are stored? I'm not sure why CoinKiller is not writing to ~/.var/app/io.github.Arisotura.CoinKiller/data/ then.

Could you link to a documentation that describe what you are trying to do?

I don't think there is any, but I'm trying to update the sprite data, and save the RomFS folder. Just normal CoinKiller functions.

All data you edit from the RomFS folder should be saved in the RomFS directory and nowhere else

Normally, CoinKiller will save the last-opened folder, and be able to update spritedata from the online database. That functionality doesn't appear to be working.

It works for me. Did you have Settings>Load last ROMFS checked?

I have created a Issue upstream for this

Whoops, I didn't. Working now that I've checked that box.

Ah I see, its not something on my end then. Thanks.
