Hi, we are currently working on integrating support to unlock TrueCrypt/VeraCrypt volumes in GNOME. The patches for libblockdev, udisks, and GNOME Disks are already prepared. The next step is to support unlocking TC/VC volumes via the GVfs udisks2 monitor, which uses gnome-shell's ShellMountPasswordDialog.
We need to add multiple widgets (or what is called widgets in GTK) to this dialog, because TC/VC volumes take a lot of different parameters, to specify whether to open a hidden volume, use keyfiles, etc. The design of the resulting dialog can be seen here [1] - we also tested the design with users [2], and started discussing it on the gtk-devel list [3]. In this design, to allow the user to specify keyfiles, there should a button in the ShellMountPasswordDialog, which opens a file chooser dialog when clicked. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any code in GNOME Shell which uses a file chooser dialog, and I wasn't able to open a GtkFileChooserDialog (or any other GtkWindow) in gnome-shell without causing gnome-shell to crash. So I would like to know: Is there a way to achieve this without implementing a file chooser dialog from scratch? Or do you have any other idea how we could solve this?
