Public bug reported:
The initial FilePicker implementation in Oxide tries to open a
ContentPeerPicker and then falls back to a standard FileDialog if that
fails. The problem with this is that webbrowser-app depends on content-
hub, so opening a ContentPeerPicker will always succeed in any
application, even in scenarios where it displays no useful peers and the
application could open a standard file dialog.
The way I think this could work is:
- If ContentPeerModel indicates there are no peers (or the only peer is the
current app) AND application confinement doesn't prevent the application from
browsing the home directory, open a FileDialog, else open the ContentPeerPicker.
- When displaying the ContentPeerPicker, if application confinement doesn't
prevent the application from browsing the home directory, display a button at
the bottom of the window to switch to a FileDialog.
