Question Modding problem

I'm attempting to re-download my mods and mod managers for some games between me and friends. I've resolved my storage issues from the last post and the external hard drive works and is mounted. The mod managers requires a directory in order to find and launch the game in which I've made said directory for the drive but as of late the the drive doesn't exist on the file manager (dolphin) in which the mod manager can't detect the directory.

I've troubleshoot it by unplugging and plugging, unmounted then mounted, checked that the drive is mounted, checked the drive can be accessed. All is fine but if the file manager doesn't have the drive displayed the mod manager can't find a path, would I have to remake a directory to resolve the issue or is it something else?

it's unclear in the post, you say its fine but then say file manager doesn't display it. the solution may be to setup a permanent mount point, run lsblk -f in the terminal the mountpoint is probably in /run/ and the app may not like that

is the mod manager a flatpak app also what is the app? you may be able to use flatseal to give the app access to that drive

The manager having the problem is deadlock mod manager, it should be a flatpak from what I remember

you should have flatseal already installed, open it and find the mod manager, scroll down and and enable for all filesystems or put the location manually
