Firedragon About config setting

[elite]

In firedragon you can’t set widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal.file-picker to 2. Normally you set this so you can get the kde or local native system file picker. I don’t remember this being a issue a while ago but I could be wrong.

@elite

widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal.file-picker

Yes correct, this is because it’s a lockPref on line 553 of firedragon.cfg.
You could add it to your firedragon.overrides.cfg.
I’ll test it out as well and see whether this should be changed for next version.

EDIT: You have to add it as lockPref in order to modify it.
What is it supposed to change visually?

[elite]

Gotcha i will give that a shot.

Normally it let you show dolphin when saving files to the drive an other kde style pop up prompts. normally it defaults to GTK. its more about looks an having a real file manager rather the the nautilus one which is rather lacking.

[FGD]

Which dialog box exactly?
I know 2 dialog boxes possible.
There’s one where it asks which folder to save the file into and you have a shorten version of Dolphin showing in which you can browse and then enter the folder and a filename.

There’s another one, which asks what you want to do with the file (it’s prior to the one above).

For the former, when it’s set to 1 or 2 I get the same UI behavior.
For the latter, I need to find something to download that will ask what to do.

[elite]

normally this one here that pops up would change,

An then clicking save file pops up the kde one. normally it would be set to 1 and pops up like

with the kde style and everything. clicking open an then “other” also still opens the gtk window for it.

I’m not to sure yet if mozzila changed something on the back end but was going to look into it. I figured to start easy with the about:config. Next is trying it with export xdg-desktop-portal / -kde declared in the fish config. since it was suppose to be fixed during the wayland change. It might not be fixed yet though.

I’ve been using pling to test it.

[FGD]

Hmm, I get the same GTK window with either 1 or 2 as value.

I’ve been trying to fix this GTK window to bring it back to KDE look but could not. It changed somewhere around Plasma 6 or 6.1 and I can’t tell if it was on a FD upgrade or Plasma.
It does that on all my machines, old and new, EXCEPT my main daily machine (installed jan 2021) which still shows this (even with 1 for the xdg setting):

Very weird… but I want that second dialog box UI me too.

[elite]

Yeah its really weird at first I thought it had to do with the gtk theming on kde but all i can tell so far is something random changed.
I kinda want to wait tell floorp 12 hits to dig to deep in case something major changes. But if I find anything useful I will post it here.

Edit,

Changing the gtk theme in kde seems to now work its still a gtk window

so maybe something changed on the Sweet theme v40? i think it is.

[elite]

Yeah changing it to the new v40 sweet dark gets pretty close to the garuda default just a little color tweaking an a new name an it should look like it used to.

best I’ve found so far anyway.

[FGD]

@elite

maybe something changed on the Sweet theme v40? i think it is.

Probably not.
Floorp does the same.
Firedragon on another theme also does the same.
Plasma on another Global Theme also does the same.

I believe it’s originating from FF.
EDIT: But then again it works on my main machine which uses Sweet as GTK and Wayland and xdg-portal packages, just like on many of my other machines… so weird!
