It's brittle and ugly.
Would it be useful to have a non-Flatpak-specific name for Flatpak's portal-friendly reimplementation of xdg-email, and install it on host systems, not just in Flatpak containers? Or to have some sort of non-command-based API for creating an email that can do all the things flatpak-xdg-utils can, perhaps in GIO? (Vaguely precedent: I've packaged flatpak-xdg-utils for Debian 10, to make it more straightforward to build Flatpak runtimes out of Debian 10+ packages. At the moment the flatpak-xdg-utils tools are installed into /usr/libexec rather than onto the PATH, and containers that want them are expected to create their own symlinks, but there's no reason there couldn't be a symlink at /usr/bin/xdg-desktop-portal-email or something.) smcv _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
