Bypass File Chooser When Running Games from Steam #8

Open Saroufim opened 5 years ago

Saroufim commented 5 years ago

The XDG-Desktop-Portal file chooser is always in the way when launching Steam games from Lutris. Is it possible to somehow bypass it?

On our side, the only way to avoid this is to bundle Steam, which would mean re-implementing and maintaining all the complex stuff that Steam flatpak has. We definitely don't want to do this.

Probably if there is (or should be) a way to always open specific URLs (steam:// in this case) with specific program, bypassing the "Open URL" dialog? AFAIK xdg-desktop-portal portal is responsible for that, maybe you should ask its devs?

Added it to an already reported issue. Will report back with their feedback.

Asking the user is a key to it being secure so no you can't bypass that (on the host side users can configure it though).

Steam can't be added to the Flatpak, on SteamOS that would result in 2 Steam installs. Lutris has to be able to interact with the host's install of Steam.

I can live without special support for the Flatpak Steam, but one should make sure that all calls to steam are made using the steam:// uri. With this and good use of Gtk.show_uri this should work both with normal steam and flatpak steam. Note that the portal remembers which app was used last time and only asks once.
