## Building xdg-desktop-portal-lxqt

### Dependencies:

- Build + Runtime

  - Qt 6

  - KDE Frameworks - KWindowSystem

  - libfm-qt

- Runtime only

  - Qt 6

  - KDE Frameworks - KWindowSystem

  - xdg-desktop-portal

  - libfm-qt

### Build instructions:

```

$ mkdir build && cd build

$ cmake .. [your_options]

$ make

# make install

```

### Use LXQt filedialog in applications

* Firefox version 98 and higher:  Open in the address bar `about:config`, search for "portal" and set both `widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal.file-picker` and `widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal.mime-handler`  from `2` to `1`.

* Thunderbird: Preferences > Configuration Editor `widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal` has to be set to `1`.

* Some other GTK applications can be started with `GTK_USE_PORTAL=1 application`

* To use the LXQt file dialog if more desktop-portals are installed:

 `~/.config/xdg-desktop-portal/lxqt-portals.conf`

```

[preferred]

default=lxqt

```

A general use of `GTK_USE_PORTAL=1` in `~/.profile` or `/etc/profile` can lead to issues and

 is not recommended.
