--- Comment #1 from Nate Graham <nate at kde.org> ---
This is unfortunately a limitation of Dolphin when packaged using a Flatpak.
It's currently unsolvable without one of the following changes:
1. Making Flatpak'ed Dolphin communicate with a host-side daemon that has to be
installed.
2. Changing Flatpak itself to allow full host access for apps like Dolphin that
need it. This is implemented with https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/pull/6125,
assuming that ever gets merged.

The problem with #1 is that is removes the "run anywhere" advantage of Flatpak,
since the system would need to have the host-side daemon running and that would
have to be provided by system packaging.

The problem with #2 is that it's politically challenging and may not end up
happening.

Either way, there's nothing feasible we can do right now, sorry. We'll need to
see if #2 is accepted; if not, we'll see if we can stomach #1 or just give up
on the idea of file managers in Flatpak.
