Hi! This keeps creating a new ~/Documents directory by default even when the locale isn't English.
Is this actually hardcoded in Zoom itself, or are there any flatpak specific recommended solutions to this (--persistent? symlinks?) to redirect it to xdg-documents?
It's a bit annoying.
Thanks.

There's previous discussion on #208, #257, #259, #262. It looks like this is hardcoded in Zoom and the Flatpak just has to cope with it. If you have a paid Zoom account, you could try sending them a ticket.

Can we at least trick it into a .var/app/us.zoom.Zoom/Documents/Zoom/ bind mount similar to --persist=.mozilla until they fix their portal support?

I think the trouble is that it's saving files there that people expect to be able to see in a file browser outside Zoom, in particular meeting recordings. So putting it into a hidden folder is not really an option.
