** Description changed:
- The file dialog implementation doesn't return the current filter. It is
- in the spec and it is fixed in newer versions of the portals. But the
- 1.6.0 version doesn't return it.
+ * Impact
+ The file dialog implementation doesn't return the current filter. It is in
the spec and it is fixed in newer versions of the portals. But the 1.6.0
version doesn't return it.
This is an issue for Inkscape which uses the filter to select which file
format someone wishes to save as if they override the defaults. This
works well on Ubuntu 22.04.
+
+ * Test case
+
+ $ snap install --candidate inkscape.
+
+ In Inkscape if you just draw on the canvas and hit save a save dialog
+ will appear. There is a selector at the bottom right that adjust which
+ files you see, but also which format you want to save in. So if you make
+ your file "test.pdf" and select "Portable Document Format (*.pdf)" in
+ the selector you should get a PDF file. Before these patches you will
+ get a file "test.pdf" which is actually an SVG file. After the patches
+ you'll get a "test.pdf" that is actually a PDF.
+
+ * Regression potential
+
+ That's a change to the fileselector portal so check that opening and
+ saving files in a few snaps and flatpaks still works as intended
