Created attachment 159469 [details] Screen cap of portal browser Good day I am attempting to use an app called "Boatswain" (https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/boatswain) as a soundboard for an "Elgato Stream-deck". The program installed just fine however files are not visible in the explorer and causes a bit of a crash when selecting anything (files can be selected by typing its name into the field). I'll include a screen-cap of what I'm looking at as well as the stacktrace I had reported this bug to that programs board already and was told to report it here Any insight or advice would be appreciated Thank you STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open program 2. Navigate file selection browser to where file location should be 3. press open after selecting file OBSERVED RESULT KDE portal crashes EXPECTED RESULT File is selected and used in program SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 23.04 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.104.0 Qt Version: 5.15.8 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Application: Portal (xdg-desktop-portal-kde), signal: Segmentation fault [KCrash Handler] #4 0x00007f0e91bd1a5a in KFileWidget::currentMimeFilter() const () from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libKF5KIOFileWidgets.so.5 #5 0x000055b720c53c8e in ??

IIRC there's some kind of incompatibility with the mimetype strings that apps can pass vs with the file widget expects or something. I'm unable to recall the details or file an existing bug report for it, though.

I'm sorry for having to ask but does that mean that the app is incompatible with KDE and i should look for another program or is it a "new" bug that needs to be patched?
At the moment, there is an incompatibility, yes. It's a bug we need to fix. Unfortunately I can't test this myself because the app appears to require a Stream Deck for the main UI to show up, and I don't have one.
Since you're in contact with the Boatswain developers, can you ask them what exact string they're setting the file type filter to? I ask because there's a chance this might be fixed with https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kio/-/merge_requests/1321, and knowing what the string is will help us determine whether that's the case, or whether a different string is needed?

I thought i would update just to make it seem like i did not ghost or anything, But i have messaged the Dev of the app about 5 days ago at this time, still waiting on a response. I'll message again should he send me that string info
Dear Bug Submitter, This bug has been in NEEDSINFO status with no change for at least 15 days. Please provide the requested information as soon as possible and set the bug status as REPORTED.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!
I have not received that string info from the Boatswain Developer yet, not in a position to be able to force that information to be relinquished. The bug is still present, i would almost want to call it rude to declare the issue resolved and discard it from on that point. although i get the feeling that was a bot. Thank you for any work put twords resolving this, even though its basically shooting in the dark without that info. sorry i cant just grab it.
That was indeed a bot, but unfortunately we need the info I indicated from the Boatswain developer to proceed here. I'm sure the answer is somewhere in https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/boatswain/-/tree/main/src for me or anyone else to find ourselves, but speaking personally I'm not familiar enough with GTK to know where to look, sorry.
I'm gonna apologies for this. but i have still have not heard back from the dev. maybe i said something wrong. or their not willing to send code information to some rando. i'll supply the link to their contact site if your willing to send a message yourself. but I'm not gonna hold that as an expectation. So at this point I'm gonna consider this avenue a dead end and go back to the drawing on getting this stream deck to work https://feaneron.com/contact/ Thank you however for responding and offering to help out on this.
I've messaged Georges. Let's see what happenes.

I eventually got a response from Georges who helpfully pointed me to the code in question, which uses a glob to specify mimetypes: - https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/boatswain/-/blob/main/src/plugins/soundboard/soundboard-play-action-prefs.c#L102-105 - https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/boatswain/-/blob/main/src/bs-stream-deck-button-editor.c#L387-391 This currently isn't supported, and it's a known issue in the KDE portal. I can't reproduce the crash per se, but clearly there is some problem with glob-based mimetype specification. So I'll mark this as a duplicate of that bug report for now. Thanks for your patience here! *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 450612 ***
