Cannot open any file

[williamd1k0]

I cannot open any file.

Version: 44-alpha4 and main

Steps to reproduce the behaviour: Just try opening a file using Open Dialog or command-line argv.

If using Open Dialog

The dialog itself simply doesn't appear. After messing with the code, I managed to get it to work by setting the file filter after the dialog initialisation.

       action: Gtk.FileChooserAction.OPEN,
-      filter: filter,
       select_multiple: false,
       transient_for: window,
       title: _('Open'),
     });
+    dialog.add_filter(filter);

     dialog.show();
     dialog.connect('response', (dialog, response) => {

If using command-line argv

The app crashes before opening. The log will warn you of this error:

JS ERROR: TypeError: activeWindow.load_file is not a function

I haven't found a way to fix it myself though.

Thanks for the report. This works for me on Debian and Fedora. File opening is done through the flatpak portal. What OS are you using?

[williamd1k0]

I'm using Manjaro 23.0.2 Xfce4.

How are you launching the application?

No response. Closing issue.
