If you must open flatseal config, it's a bad system. What should happen is that everything should be forbidden by default, and attempts to access files or dirs are individually approved (if the file is opened interactively, it's naturally part of a trusted system file picker that approves the access and gives the filename to the app when you click the selection button), and you can make large config edits if you want to.

Seems like a pretty good idea, and it would be a nice if someone added this functionality to flatpak. I am still happy that flatpak is there because it is better than nothing and for most apps I use it with the permissions is exactly as I expect them to be.
