I have installed RT 5.7 on my desktop computer running Ubuntu 18.04.3. My image files are on a second hard drive (/media/steve/500GB/Digital Photos). The HD is mounted.
I do not find a way to get to my image files through the RT File Browser-Folders. I do not see the media folder.
Help? Thanks.
@supperman how did you install RT? Deb package, snap package, appimage, or flatpak?
Where do you have it mounted?
If you have it mounted in that path (/media/steve/500GB/Digital Photos), could you change it to somewhere inside your home folder (perhaps in /home/steve/Pictures/Digital Photos)?
That way you won’t have to deal with permissions to access a root folder, and RT will show it inside your Pictures folder.
When I have an external DD mounted, it appears appears under “Places”:
Paperdigits, I saw your recent post about overriding the sandboxing mechanism on a per application basis. It sounds like the same issue I have. I’ll get with a buddy that knows command line to try it.
Thanks all for the quick replies.
You don’t need a buddy, just find the mount directory, then copy and paste the command I posted.
I got it figured out, it works fine. Thank you.
same problem with Ubuntu 24.04 and Rawtherapee 5.10. Cant find/access my mounted HDD… makes it useless as a photo editor.
Nothing under “Places”.
Hi @Roger_G welcome to the community, you only need to post your issue once, and as you’ve started a new thread, you don’t need to post there. Posting the same issue multiple times will only degrade the quality of the help you’ll get.
