I'm trying to use the Inkscape snap provided in Ubuntu from the command line, but it fails to access my files.
Using the graphical interface to open files in Inkscape works well. However, it always forgets my last opened directory.
Should I use another path to correctly access the files from within the snap? In the Inkscape open file dialog I don't see any specific prefix.
I see in snap connections that personal-files are mounted(?).

description: |
A Free and open source vector graphics editor. It offers a rich set of features and is widely used
for both artistic and technical illustrations such as cartoons, clip art, logos, typography,
diagramming and flowcharting.
It uses vector graphics to allow for sharp printouts and renderings at unlimited resolution and is
not bound to a fixed number of pixels like raster graphics. Inkscape uses the standardized SVG
file format as its main format, which is supported by many other applications including web
browsers.
Inkscape supports many advanced SVG features (markers, clones, alpha blending,
etc.) and great care is taken in designing a streamlined interface.
It is very easy to edit nodes, perform complex path operations, trace
bitmaps and much more.
We also aim to maintain a thriving user and developer community by using
open, community-oriented development.

edit.
From the Export pane, I see that my file resides here in this instance: /run/user/1000/doc/53892325/base.svg
And selecting the output location, I get /run/user/1000/doc/7f5d9c6d/base_32x32.png
Running mount, I see this:
portal on /run/user/1000/doc type fuse.portal (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=1000,group_id=1000)
