External editors won't open on linux

Bootstrap Studio Help

Hi! I have tried a couple of different external editors like Webstorm, VS Code etc… But when adding them as external editors in the BSS settings, they just wont open when clicking on a script and selecting open in editor. Is this a problem I can fix or is there something deeper going on here? I’m running Kubuntu 24.04 on X11. Thank you so much!

Can you share a screenshot of your Settings > External Editors config?

You have to link to an executable, like this:

.desktop files can’t be launched by the app.

This file is in /var/lib/flatpak/app/com.jetbrains.WebStorm/current/active/files/bin/ but will only run with a no sandbox command: flatpak run com.jetbrains.WebStorm --no-sandbox. Do I have to reinstall the program with not flatpak? I’d prefer not to, because I like how I have it organized currently…
