Is the XDG file picker the thing that pops up that ugly password prompt for privileged commands? KDE3 and Trinity have a nicer one built in: just edit the application icon and in the Application tab, Advanced option, activate Run as a different user without a username (which defaults to root). Some (e.g. Konqueror - File Manager - Super User Mode) already have it set.
By file picker I am referring to the dialog that launches inside software when the user selects the File->Open or File->Save menu options.
Originally the XDG Desktop Portal was designed to accommodate sandboxed environments such as flatpak. The idea grew such that when using a preferred DE but an app is based on a different tool set, the native DE file picker can be used. For example, in KDE I can use a GTK tool such as Firefox, but the KDE file picker appears instead of the GTK file picker.
TDE does not yet have this support but most of the other DEs do. I think even LXQt has support.
Much like Yosemite Same hates that rabbit, I hate the GTK file picker. ____________________________________________________ tde-devels mailing list -- devels@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devels-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/devels@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
