The problem

When installing VSCodium or VSCode as a user installed Flatpak, neither installation appears as an available External Editor in the application. Could be related to #851 and #879.

It looks like an issue in

name: 'VSCodium',
paths: [
'/usr/bin/codium',
'/var/lib/flatpak/app/com.vscodium.codium',
'/usr/share/vscodium-bin/bin/codium',
],
and
name: 'Visual Studio Code',
paths: [
'/usr/share/code/bin/code',
'/snap/bin/code',
'/usr/bin/code',
'/mnt/c/Program Files/Microsoft VS Code/bin/code',
],
and I will probably submit a PR to fix this.

Release version

Version 3.2.1-linux2 (x64) (Unofficial Flatpak)

Operating system

VanillaOS

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. Install GitHub Desktop on Linux
  2. Install VSCodium or VSCode as a user through Flatpak
  3. ???
  4. Profit

no wait
*3. Go to File > Integrations > No VSCode or VSCodium

Additional context

I am running the (seemingly unofficial) Flatpak version of GitHub Desktop. I hate to direct issues here because the Flatpak could be introducing this issue, but I think this is an issue here as well. I haven't tried with a system install of GH Desktop Linux.
