Sorry it took me a while to get back to this.

First, I am the maintainer of the Geany Flathub package. Someone put it up a 
long time ago, then they disappeared, then I took up the torch. I agree that 
the current situation in how Flathub does not clearly display the disconnect 
between the developers of the software and the maintainers of the package is 
far from ideal, but [discussions on how to improve that have 
stalled.](https://github.com/flathub-infra/website/issues/3131) I'm pretty sure 
all I can really do is amend the readme that appears on the Flathub page, and 
it may also appear in various software centers. That doesn't really adhere with 
best practices, but I'm not sure I really care about that very much??? There's 
no situation where Geany will ever appear in Flathub's banner; it's not a GNOME 
app.

Anyways, you can see that I mentioned this issue and the PR in a PR against 
Flathub's Geany repo. If you want to use Flatpak to test #3861, that option 
will soon be available to you. 🙂

Second: I can confirm that after building Geany with the git tree from the pull 
request, the relevant option appears in the Miscellaneous section, and it does 
cause Plasma's file chooser dialog to appear for all file opening and saving 
operations. The filters work too, and even an empty filter doesn't seem to 
cause much trouble. @b4n your DE has a GTK4 portal? Would that be GNOME or 
Pantheon? I know GNOME's working on a Nautilus chooser, but that's probably not 
ready yet. You probably want to file an issue with their xdg-desktop-portal; I 
don't think empty filters are actually invalid.
