xdg-desktop-portal 1.17.x introduces a new way to select which portals will be used for which desktop environments, modelled on mimeapps.list: - each desktop environment should provide a file like /usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/wayfire-portals.conf - the filename is ${DESKTOP}-portals.conf where ${DESKTOP} is the desktop environment's entry in $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP (the same as the DesktopNames from /usr/share/{x,wayland-}sessions/*.desktop), folded to lower case - sysadmins and users can override this via files named portals.conf or ${DESKTOP}-portals.conf in various locations like /etc/xdg-desktop-portal and ~/.config/xdg-desktop-portal Please see portals.conf(5) or its source code https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/blob/main/doc/portals-conf.rst for full details. If I'm reading correctly, I think wayfire uses XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP="Wayfire"? If that's the case, then it should provide a wayfire-portals.conf so that individual users aren't required to set this up for themselves. For example, if the intention is to use x-d-p-wlr for the interfaces that it supports (screenshots and screencasting), and x-d-p-gtk for other interfaces (such as File->Open and File->Save As... dialogs), then the simplest way to write that would be: [preferred] default=wlr;gtk; The desktop environment (either wayfire or some larger metapackage) should probably also have a Recommends, or at least a Suggests, on whatever portals would be most appropriate for it. I see that it already Suggests xdg-desktop-portal-wlr, but not -gtk. Thanks, smcv -- This is part of a mass bug filing: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2023/08/msg00311.html
