Background portal not working on XFCE #17

Closed ImDevinC closed 1 day ago

ImDevinC commented 1 month ago

I see background access was added in #15, but when running in XFCE and using EasyEffects, the app is not successfully able to run at startup, nor run in the background. The logs from systemctl --user status xdg-desktop-portal-xapp xdg-desktop-portal xdg-desktop-portal-gtk are below.

xdg-desktop-portal-gtk removed their background portal, which using something like DoorKnocker showed unavailable. But now that I've installed xdg-desktop-portal-xapp, the portal is available, but it just doesn't seem to work right. I installed from the Arch AUR, version 1.0.5-1.

Here's my ~/.config/xdg-desktop-portal/portals.conf as well

cat ~/.config/xdg-desktop-portal/portals.conf

Thanks in advance!

This is disabled currently because I can't implement everything that's part of the portal spec without involvement from the xfce desktop itself - it's supported in Cinnamon because we could do it ourselves (https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon/commit/73015fd7272c773923cefbd7b53ec594600000b0).

I'll see what I can do - the autostart feature should work well enough in any desktop, I was just uncomfortable advertising this portal on a desktop that can't fully support it.

I think I ran into this problem, I created an issue /ticket in the xfce / gitlab tracker.

https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-settings/-/issues/543

I'm willing to work on this problem, but I know nothing about it. So I would need some help/documentation to learn how to do it. I know some C and willing to work through whatever is needed, but I would appreciate some tips and hints to get started.

As of 1.0.7 enabling autostart/writing desktop files should work now on Xfce and mate as well as cinnamon.

I can confirm this is working for me on XFCE. Thanks!
