Flatpak: Unable to PDF print E-mail to file location
Evolution version: 3.44.1 (by Flathub.org) OS Version: Pop!_OS 21.10 Installation method: Flatpak
I'm pretty much unable to print anything to PDF from my Evolution Email. This has been an ongoing issue since I first installed Evolution a few months back, but I see from old forum threads this issue has existed for years but it may be the method in which we install it?
The issue is that when I wish to save an Email message as a PDF, I'm presented with a file dialog box that doesn't include my file system or folders; well, maybe it does but navigating within the dialog doesn't present me with ANY of my \home folders or files. I'm also unable to navigate to them or my preferred storage location, which is an external drive. (see screen cap of this 'empty' file dialog box)
If I just print the file to the mysterious location I'm presented with, the file is essentially lost. I can't find where it was printed and if I use a global file search, it doesn't find it either.
This is a pretty big issue for me since printing to PDF is how I archive important Email messages. This wasn't an issue when I used Thunderbird and I switched to Evolution for many reasons - I'd prefer not to have to switch back but if I don't resolve this bug I may pushed back to T-bird against my will.
