Inkscape use GTK File Dialog by default, how to change that (if possible)?

Hello everyone.

Is there a way to change the file picker (used for save, open, export…) in Inkscape ?
It seems like they have done it in the windows version but the settings isn’t there on Linux see reddit.

I’ve already set GTK_USE_PORTAL=1 and have installed xdg-desktop-portal-kde.

Install from Flatpak. Flatpak apps can only open host files via the portal. They are forced to do that.

Otherwise, there’s not much you can do. GTK4 apps use portal dialogs even when running in host. But Inkscape is GTK3.

Think you @jinliu ,
I’ll keep it as is for now because I don’t use flatpak for disk space issue reason.

Are you sure? This would be very nice to clear up

If flatpak solved something that the environment variable doesnt, what is it?

As I said, if a Flatpak app wants to access a file in the host, it can only do so via portal dialogs or drag-and-drop. Their builtin dialogs can only open files in the sandbox, which is not very useful.
