Oh, no, I'm glad I asked...

So what whould then happen when vlc automatically tries to open the subtitle file associated with the video? When I open "vlc /my/custom/path/file.avi" I presumably will get a dialog box (because lets be specific: that is what I'll get, right?) will I then also get another dialog box when vlc tries to open "/my/custom/path/file.srt" 1 ms later?

Just to be clear: I would *much* prefer to *configure* vlc to be allowed to open everything under /my/custom/path/ without any extra confirmation. Especially because if there is "a trusted security mechanism (e.g. integrated with gnome shell)" there is no way for me to use snap apps in scripts, e.g. if they have options that allow them to perform bulk operations.
