## What is this?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is an implementation of the [FreeDesktop Portals API](https://flatpak.github.io/xdg-desktop-portal).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
THIS IS AN EARLY PROTOTYPE. USE WITH CARE.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This implementation exposes TDE APIs to applications which use the Portals API. As a result, these applications
|
|
|
|
|
can transparently use native APIs and dialogs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Read more about the portals API on its official [website](https://flatpak.github.io/xdg-desktop-portal/docs/introduction.html).

|
|
|
|
## How do I use this?
|
|
|
|
|
Before using this, make sure you have the `xdg-desktop-portal` package installed and running on your system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To make Firefox use the Portals API, go to `about:config`, search for options that start with "widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal" and,
|
|
|
|
|
if they are set to 2, set them to 1.

## State of implementation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Currently implemented are the following interfaces:
|
|
|
|
|
* Account - request user information (user ID, full name, user icon)
|
|
|
|
|
* Email - request to send an e-mail via the system e-mail client
|
|
|
|
|
* FileChooser - request a file dialog
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following implementations are planned (listed in no particular order):
|
|
|
|
|
* Screenshot - request a screenshot
|
|
|
|
|
* App Chooser - show a "Open with..." dialog for a file
|
|
|
|
|
* Clipboard - request clipboard access (*)
|
|
|
|
|
* OpenURI - request to open a URL
|
|
|
|
|
* Secret - integration with TDEWallet
|
|
|
|
|
* Access - show a grant access dialog
|
|
|
|
|
* Wallpaper - request to change the user's wallpaper
|
|
|
|
|
* Print - request a file to be printed
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(*) Needs Session interface implementation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Additionaly, it must be noted that the implementation does not currently support the Documents portal API (and therefore sandboxed applications).
