Change Filedialog handler #699

Open ghost opened 2 years ago

ghost commented 2 years ago

First of all this is a really great project, I've been hacking around the last two days and got a pretty good workflow with this browser fitted to my needs. Thanks to the dev(s)!

But right now I'm stuck, I want to change the default handler for file-dialogs (GtkFileChooserDialog) to be ranger or lf (Terminal based file browser). Is this possible with handler-add?

For example: On this site there is a button to open a filedialog https://convertio.co/png-ico/ it is used to select a local file. Thanks!

@Moempfred Interesting question. The handler are only used for different protocoll types like http, ftp, mailto, .... The file dialog seems to be hard wired into webkitgtk. I'm not sure if this could be changed in any way - might be possible with some setting in .config./gtk-3.0/gtkfilechooser.ini. You could check if https://superuser.com/questions/944119/replace-gtk-file-dialog-with-alternative this would also allow to use ranger - but in my optionion these hacks are overkill.
