Bug ID: 460997
Summary: Highlight downloaded file in file manager using D-Bus
org.freedesktop.FileManager1.ShowItems
Classification: Applications
Product: Falkon
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: FreeBSD
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: now...@gmail.com
Reporter: prob...@puredarwin.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When double-clicking on a downloaded file in the Downloads window, the file
manager should open the window that contains the file and highlight the file.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Download a file
2. From the Downloads window, double-click the downloaded file
OBSERVED RESULT
Currently it only opens the folder without highlighting the file.
EXPECTED RESULT
When double-clicking on a downloaded file in the Downloads window, the file
manager should open the window that contains the file and highlight the file.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Falkon 3.2.0 package on FreeBSD 13.1
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
To achieve this, D-Bus org.freedesktop.FileManager1.ShowItems can be used.
Example:
% dbus-send --session \
--print-reply \
--dest=org.freedesktop.FileManager1 \
/org/freedesktop/FileManager1 \
org.freedesktop.FileManager1.ShowItems \
array:string:"file:/etc/os-release" string:""
This should open the file manager at /etc and highlight the os-release file.
Of course this can be done in Qt rather than using the dbus-send command line
tool; the above is just an example to illustrate the concept. If D-Bus is not
available or the call fails, then Falkon could always fall back to the current
method of opening the folder.
