Drop wlr.portal #295

Open emersion opened 5 months ago

emersion commented 5 months ago

xdg-desktop-portal has a new way to find portal implementations now.

Hm, is the whole portal file the right thing to do? Is it now unused? Should we just drop the UseIn part instead?

wlr.portal is still used to resolve wlr in portals conf and determine supported implementations for

[preferred]
default=wlr;gtk

UseIn= will be used as a fallback when portals.conf does not define an implementation for a certain portal. E.g. contrib/wlroots-portals.conf in this repo does not have an entry for ScreenCast and default=gtk doesn't implement it, but things work because UseIn fallback lookup returns wlr.

Alright, let's keep this for later then.
