# xdg-desktop-portal-filechooser

A customizable file dialog chooser for use with xdg-desktop-portal. 

![ ](chooser.png "chhoser.png")

Default is to use the built in custom filed dialog, you can also select a qt filedialog, with more to come. 

####

Based on original code here:

https://github.com/capezotte/xdg-desktop-portal-scriptfm

###

**Installation:**

```console

make

sudo make install

````

To select what file dialog to use create xdgfilechooser.conf in ~/.config like so:

````console

#!/bin/bash

#USEDIALOG=qtdialog

USEDIALOG=customdialog

````

Comment/uncomment your prefered filedialog

#

**To start the portal run:**

```console

SFM_FILE_SCRIPT='/usr/share/filechooserportal/xdgportalscript' '/usr/libexec/filechooser'

````

Some where in your start up scripts ( this will vary by distro, probably adding to rc.local will work fine ).

#

**TODO:**

gtk chooser.

lxqt chooser.
