Snap-specific information
Due to the confined nature of the snap apps, by default this snap can only access the files under your home directory(excluding the dotfiles right under it).
To open and save files under the /mnt and the /media directories, connect the
snap to the removable-media interface by running the following command in a
terminal:
sudo snap connect mazu-editor:removable-media
