Consider shipping /usr/etc/xdg-desktop-portals/sway-portals.conf

[Arnavion]

This is xdp's new preferred way to handle portals that have partial implementations, like xdpw is, and delegate unsupported features to other portals.

Ref:

• xdp documentation

• Suggested example in xdpw repo

• xdpw discussion and link to xdp PR

• GNOME desktop's file

For openSUSEway's case, I believe the xdpw example would be correct, ie use xdpw for screenshot and screencast but delegate everything else to xdp-gtk.

Hi @Arnavion ,

sway already ships: https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/X11:Wayland/sway/sway-portals.conf?expand=1

it was part of the fix: https://github.com/openSUSE/openSUSEway/pull/124#issuecomment-1748463071

We could have a different one if t will work and bring benefits.

Thanks, Denys

Oh, I did not check in sway package itself or in /usr/share/. Sorry for noise.

[denisok]

no problem! Thanks for caring! :)

btw - I see new "portals" dir - maybe that should be fixed and sway and wlr files should be moved?

The /usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/sway-portals.conf path is correct. It is what the xdp doc says and also what the code looks for.

The portals subdirectory is where portals themselves, like xdpw, drop their UseIn= files.
