Hi all,
it seems like Thunderbird and Firefox use GTK dialogs for opening and saving files by default. To make them use native KDE dialogs the environment variable GTK_USE_PORTAL must be set to 1. One way to do that is to edit the .desktop files for the applications [1].
Alternatively, the line
export GTK_USE_PORTAL=1
can be added in ~/.profile or even globally under /etc/profile.d/.
Would it make sense to add the global export in a package (e.g., a branding package)? This should make Firefox and Thunderbird use the KDE file dialogs by default for most users. Or would that have any unwanted side effects?
What about the people that are not using a KDE desktop?
I do not understand the question I have to say. You want KDE dialogs when not using KDE?
Nononono. The contrary, I do not want KDE dialogs forced on me when not using KDE, which is what I understand would do setting GTK_USE_PORTAL to 1 in the .desktop file. I must be mistaken somewhere, so I'm asking :-) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)
