App files not showing up in .var folder

[ZAKARAIATH]

When I go on the .var folder on desktop mode and click on the apps folder, the only file I can see is the org.kde.dolphin file. I am looking for the org. file for ryujinx but for some reason its not showing up.

Sounds like you need to open Konsole and issue:
`find /home/deck | less`
Now you can use some find options and pipe to 'grep -vi' to removing known things like 'steam'

Alternatively, you could try the command `tree | less` if it's installed.

Both will show you everything.

This issue happened to me after I installed the flatpak version of dolphin to update it, the issue seems to be more restrictive permissions for apps in flatpak format.

You can tell which version of dolphin you are using by checking the color of dolphin's icon.
The version that came preinstalled on steam deck has a yellow icon, the flatpak version has a blue icon.

What worked for me was uninstalling the flatpak version of dolphin using the discover app, there were no other actions required. The original version was available and had full access to files in the .var directory.

Wow, thank you! I spent all day today trying to figure out why I can't access retroarch folder to copy a save and it was because of the dolphin flatpak. Uninstalled it and was now able to access everything
