| Summary | 0017067: Use Desktop Environment file picker | ||||
| Description | Scribus (all versions) uses the QT file picker. It would be great if it used the platform one. Especially on Linux (which I use) it should be easy through portals. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
| Patch | No | ||||

While I do understand the principle, I'm not sure whether this is actually a good idea. For example showing the GTK filepicker in Scribus, could present the user with really jarring theming differences, to the point where some users might actually be confused about whether a different application is actually presenting the filepicker instead of Scribus. |

"For example showing the GTK filepicker in Scribus, could present the user with really jarring theming differences" Not really. For example, using GNOME the Scribus theme will be Adwaita-QT and the file picker will be a GTK window with the Adwaita-GTK theme. |

That's just one desktop environment and theme combination specifically. |

|
We add functionality, like preview, to file dialogs so unfotunately this would lose functionality. |

"We add functionality, like preview, to file dialogs so unfotunately this would lose functionality." Both KDE and GTK have previews, I presume Windows and Mac have at least thumbnails. |

>> Both KDE and GTK have previews, I presume Windows and Mac have at least thumbnails. We do not add only previews. There are also additional checkbox options in a number of dialogs we could not add if using a native file dialog. |

|
This is true for Text import, but otherwise everything seems to me to be all standard. |
|
|
Nope, at least Save As, Save As Template and Collect for Output also have specific options. |
