Description Toadfield 2021-02-19 14:58:33 UTC

If a gtk program wants to download something then it opens that ugly gtk download dialog instead of the qt dialog.
There is already a way to enable that only the qt dialog pops up,it is also possible to do that globally with an env var that I forgot.
But I want that that's enabled by default in kde,cause everyone hates the gtk download dialog.

The GTK_USE_PORTAL=1 environment variable can help you.

Note that you need to have the xdg-desktop-portal-kde package installed.

GTK_USE_PORTAL=1 works, but only for apps that implement xdg portals. It's not KDE's job to fix all third party applications, that's up to the app developers and/or GTK to implement a generic solution

I guess the bug reporter wants KDE to automatically set GTK_USE_PORTAL=1 so that apps that implement xdg portals can use KDE file dialog.

Yea,that is what I meant.
