So, you know the full path to the mountpoint, so you can type it in the name field.
So, can’t you just go to /mnt/DAB6E106B6E0E44B in the dialog box?
I tried typing in the full path and it worked.
So I guess no issue on the mounting, but more of the dialogue window?
Exactly. Mark my post above as the solution, please ![]()
Get used to crappy dialogues or try with the xdg-desktop-portal-kde…
I will try this.
Why do I get the GNOME dialogue tho? Isn’t supposed to be Dolphin?
Because Firefox is like that… Everyone gets GNOME (GTK) dialogues on Firefox, unfortunately. There is a hack to replace these dialogues with native Qt dialogues used on Plasma, but it’s a hack – it is usable, but a bit buggy.
I just installed xdg-desktop-portal-kde
How do I set the environtment variable GTK_USE_PORTAL=1 ?
Install the following packages:
sudo pacman -S xdg-desktop-portal xdg-desktop-portal-kde
Now test that it works, by running Firefox from the command line like this:
GTK_USE_PORTAL=1 firefox
If it does, you can set it permanently in two ways:
Either edit the .desktop file for Firefox and just add GTK_USE_PORTAL=1 to the exec line.
Or alternatively, create a script file in /etc/profile.d/ with
GTK_USE_PORTAL=1
This will set it for all users for all applications (may or may not be what you want).
You can do it in one line, like this:
echo "export GTK_USE_PORTAL=1" | sudo tee /etc/profile.d/gtkportal.sh
And then reboot. If you get sick of it, just delete the file above:
sudo rm /etc/profile.d/gtkportal.sh
I followed all of your instructions and it now uses the qt dialogue.
I’m not noticing any weird things so far.
Thanks!
