xdg-desktop-portal-tde

What is this?

This is an implementation of the FreeDesktop Portals API.

This implementation exposes TDE APIs to applications which use the Portals API. As a result, these applications can transparently use native APIs and dialogs.

Read more about the portals API on its official website.

How do I use this?

Before using this, make sure you have the xdg-desktop-portal package installed and running on your system.

  • GTK+3/4 applications: environment variables GDK_DEBUG=portals or GTK_USE_PORTAL=1;
  • Chromium-based browsers: see GTK+ applications
  • Mozilla Firefox: In about:config set widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal.file-picker to 1 (also check out any options that start with widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal.* to enable more portals).
  • Pale Moon: [https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?t=22985]
  • Qt applications: unknown

WARNING! Some Gtk+ applications don't respect the GTK_USE_PORTAL=1 and GDK_DEBUG=portals environment variables (e.g. Inkscape).

State of the implementation

Currently implemented are the following interfaces (listed in alphabetical order):

  • Account - request user information (user ID, full name, user icon)
  • Email - request to send an e-mail via the system e-mail client
  • FileChooser - request a file dialog

The following implementations are considered (listed in alphabetical order):

  • Access - show a grant access dialog
  • App Chooser - show a "Open with..." dialog for a file
  • Clipboard - request clipboard access (*)
  • Notification - show a notification
  • Print - request a file to be printed
  • Screenshot - request a screenshot
  • Secret - integration with TDEWallet
  • Wallpaper - request to change the user's wallpaper

(*) Needs Session interface implementation

Additionally, it must be noted that the implementation does not currently support the Documents portal API (and therefore sandboxed applications).
