Keepassxc: Cannot browse all directories

Problem

I want to try out keepassxc-2.2.0, but after installation via `snap install keepassxc' when I do { Database | Open database }, I can only select my home directory and not even all directories from there.

Environment

  • keepassxc-2.2.0
  • kubuntu-17.04
  • snap-2.25

There seems to be a restriction in the `snap interfaces' that doesn't allow the keepassxc snap to access directories outside your home directory. See: https://snapcraft.io/docs/reference/interfaces

The `home' interface mentions: "Can access non-hidden files in user's $HOME and gvfs mounted directories owned by the user to read/write/lock."

Strangely enough, a symlink in my home directory to a directory outside my home directory (/usr/local/var) also can't be accessed.
