Still on the lookout for a reasonable FileChooserDialog replacement... Easily the worst part of GTK and a great candidate for its own dedicated article (hint hint :)). Supposedly it takes some LD_PRELOAD fudging to override it and while there is the linked previous work from KDE I'm not aware of anything else at this point. Anyone know of any recentish attempts? Would it be a good idea with a "libgtkfilepicker" which provides a more accessible API for implementations to interface with?

- kuschku 2y agoIt used to be relatively easy to override the filechooser by forcing portal mode, but Gnome actually disabled that because people aren't supposed to use it. (See https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/merge_requests/4829 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/merge_requests/4829 and related discussions) But while they did remove that option, they didn't implement an option to do it properly. So now even though I use KDE, Firefox drops me in the shitty Gnome filechooser which is entirely useless. (Luckily firefox ended up making that an option on their side instead: widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal.file-picker)
