Bug ID: 165028
Summary: GTK version: use the XDG portal to benefit from the
desktop environment's native Open / Save file picker
chooser dialog
Product: LibreOffice
Version: Inherited From OOo
Hardware: All
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: UI
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Since GNOME 47, a new native filechooser (using Nautilus, GNOME's file manager)
has been made available. However, you need to use the appropriate portal to
access it (if not using GTK4's FileDialog, which would call it for you).
This would call the desktop environment's preferred file picker; for example,
someone running KDE would get KDE's file picker, and someone running GNOME
would get the new Nautilus-based file picker.
GNOME 47's file picker, for one, has numerous advantages over GTK's traditional
file chooser:
* Better-integrated with the rest of GNOME
* Better listing and searching performance
* Can generate image and video thumbnails (not just display them)
* Very actively maintained
As far as I can tell, LibreOffice currently still opens the old GTK
"FileChooserDialog" widget. I have observed this on Fedora 41's GNOME 47 with:
Version: 25.2.0.3 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
