Title:
org.freedesktop.portal.OpenURI.OpenDirectory doesn't highlight the
selected file
Status in xdg-desktop-portal package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in xdg-desktop-portal source package in Focal:
Fix Released
Bug description:
[Impact]
* The OpenDirectory method of the OpenURI portal opens a file manager
window showing the requested directory, but it doesn't select the
passed file in that directory. This affects all users of this API,
particularly the chromium and firefox snaps.
* This is an upstream bug that was fixed in later versions of xdg-
desktop-portal, this SRU backports the fix to the 1.6 series that's in
focal.
[Test Plan]
* On a focal machine, install the chromium snap, launch it and download any
file from a web page (from e.g. https://kernel.org/)
* Once the download is complete, browse to chrome://downloads
* Click the "Show in folder" link for the downloaded file, this opens a
Nautilus window showing the contents of the default downloads directory (e.g.
$HOME/Downloads)
* Expected result: the downloaded file is selected in the Nautilus window
* Actual result without the patch: no file is selected
* Similarly for the firefox snap, downloading a file and clicking the
"Show in Folder" button in the downloads panel should select the
downloaded file
* General functionality of all other portals (including the wallpaper
portal) should be thoroughly tested to look out for regressions
[Where problems could occur]
* The backported patches potentially affect other portals (not just
OpenURI), including the Wallpaper portal.
* Therefore the functionality of all other portals should be thoroughly
tested to ensure there are no functional regressions.
[Other Info]
* The firefox snap wasn't using this API before version 103.0, which
at the time of writing this hasn't officially been released yet (it is
due for release tomorrow, 2022-07-26). In the meantime it can be
installed from the candidate channel.
[Original Description]
This is an upstream issue (https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-
portal/issues/564) that was fixed in xdg-desktop-portal 1.10.0.
I'm proposing to SRU the corresponding patch to focal. This will be
especially useful for browsers packaged as snaps (see bug #1887195 for
chromium, and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1772063 for
firefox).
