Have you installed xdg-desktop-portal?

Yes, xdg-desktop-portal was slipped in as a dependency to MozillaFirefox from openSUSE -- but the portal file chooser logic using kdialog is BROKEN for KDE3 because KDE3 kdialog does not have an --attach option. This broke Firefox and vscodium/vscode. The portal fileChooser (originally a Flatpak interface to avoid sandbox issues) only works to pick native file dialogs for "some" desktops and "breaks" others. Thankfully mozilla provides an option to turn it off so file dialogs work again.

The xdg-desktop-portal thing isn't fully-baked yet. Whether you get a file-dialog displayed cannot depend on what desktop you are running. Proper programming would validate the file-dialog is open and ready for use, and if not, a sane fallback dialog (e.g. the default gtk fileChooser) should be shown. I know I can't be the only one bitten by this one. cc: kde3 list -- since this is a live issue for KDE3 -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
