@QuadRadical not sure about portal, but it'll replace the GTK file picker on GNOME

TheEvilSkeleton@social.treehouse.systemsHoly crap they did it! Nautilus FileChooser implementation has been merged!
Nautilus is getting a new file chooser dialog for the GNOME desktop, replacing the current GTK4 file picker, which will also be mobile-friendly.
The mockup can be found on GitLab: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/Design/app-mockups/-/blob/master/files/file-chooser/file-chooser.png

@TheEvilSkeleton Oh ok so instead of a filepicker I get nautilus itself acting as the filepicker?

TheEvilSkeleton@social.treehouse.systems@jorge yep, although it doesn't "act" as the file picker; it literally is a file picker

TheEvilSkeleton@social.treehouse.systems@purpleidea it'll automatically be unified for every app that uses the FileChooser portal, but apps like LibreOffice will continue to use their own file choosers.

TheEvilSkeleton@social.treehouse.systemsIt's quite fascinating how GNOME went from having the worst file chooser objectively to the absolute best

@TheEvilSkeleton weird how a couple of years of planning and doing the work without quick hacks and workarounds to please redditors end up making a solid result, huh?

@TheEvilSkeleton What about the effort put on making thumbnails (after 10s of years) work on the previous file picker, if it had to be replaced by nautilus itself after some time.

TheEvilSkeleton@social.treehouse.systems@scientiac the GTK4 file chooser is desktop agnostic, whereas the Nautilus file chooser is only for GNOME. If Cinnamon, MATE, Xfce, or any other GTK-based desktop ever ports the desktop to GTK4, they'll benefit from the work done on the GTK4 file chooser.

antoniof@fosstodon.org@ngz0 @TheEvilSkeleton I want a preview pane too. Both in file chooser and file browser.
In the meantime, the `sushi` previewer is still there. Effort has been made to make it work from the file chooser.
Not perfect, but gives the ability to preview images from the file chooser.

antoniof@fosstodon.org@nekohayo @TheEvilSkeleton I wouldn't have been able to reach the required level to defeat it this soon if not for the 11-weeks "premium access" sponsored by #SovereignTechFund through the #GNOMEFoundation thanks to @sonny
