Hello Nicolaas,

I'm sorry for the frustrations.

Snap manages its permissions entirely on its own. Its profiles are not meant to be adapted by hand with aa-logprof or a text editor.

See:
https://snapcraft.io/docs/interface-management
for a high-level overview of how this works, and:
https://snapcraft.io/docs/supported-interfaces
for a (possibly non-exhaustive) list of interfaces that packagers can use and roughly what those interfaces mean.

Probably there's a way to allow access to the files that you want with the snap package that you have, via "snap connect".

For your immediate problem, I suggest posting something very similar to this bug report into the snapcraft forums: https://forum.snapcraft.io/categories Hopefully someone there will have better advice on the correct path forward.

Thanks
