"Save-as" does not work

Describe the bug Ever since release (ver >= 1.0) I can't use the save-as functionality for any files or export files. This is a big problem considering that I cannot create new files on Typora, and then open it on Typora to edit it. When trying clicking save-as or the export buttons nothing happens on screen, but this is printed to the terminal:

(typora:114856): Gtk-WARNING **: 15:47:01.744: Can't open portal file chooser: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.portal.Error.InvalidArgument: invalid filter: no filters

The file chooser opens normally when opening files and folders.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to File
2. Click on Save-as

Expected behavior The file chooser opens, and lets me save the file.

Screenshots / Screencasts If applicable, add screenshots / screencasts to help explain your problem.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Manjaro 21.2.6

Typora Version 1.2.4

Additional context Save-as works fine on typora 0.11

Does GTK_USE_PORTAL=0 ./Typora work?

Or install xdg-desktop-portal-gtk

[dcfreire]

I already had xdg-desktop-portal-gtk installed and it does not fixes the issue, however setting GTK_USE_PORTAL=0 does.

[davidfhill]

I tested two Typora versions on Linux Mint 20.03 Una. Version 1.3.6 (installed through the Linux Mint 20.03 Software Manager) does not open the save/save as dialog when clicking Save or Save As. Version 1.2.3 (available for download from the typora.io website) functions properly as expected when clicking Save or Save As. The bug appears to have been introduced in version 1.3.

Same here. But this issue is only on Flatpak version. It's normal with deb and binary.

Fedora 36 64 bit Gnome - wayland

[sirrahn]

Am also experiencing this with the flatpak version on Fedora 36, gnome wayland and gnome xorg. Version 1.3.6

[Syize]

Same problem in Arch Linux, with xdg-desktop-portal-gtk installed, and export function also doesn't work. However, if set GTK_USE_PORTAL=0, this problem can be solved

[sirrahn]

How do you set the GTK_USE_PORTAL=0 ?

[exergonic]

How do you set the GTK_USE_PORTAL=0 ?

From a command line, invoke typora but prefix it with the desired environmental variable, i.e. GTK_USE_PORTAL=0 typora

[sonnie-sonnig]

I can second this. Same issues here, but not just with the flatpak, but also with the AUR version. Both 1.3.6.

Tested with:

• Manjaro (Gnome42) with X11 and wayland, Kernels 5.15 and 5.18
• PopOs with X11, Kernel 5.17

xdg-desktop-portal-gtk is installed.

How can I set the environment variable? GTK_USE_PORTAL=0 typora doesn't work with the flatpak, GTK_USE_PORTAL=0 io.typora.Typora as well is not working.

Hi there,

So for us fedora users who don't know how to run the unpack and run the binary version and are stuck with the issues with flatpak (still unable to print or save files), is there a way to build an rpm package or is there a copr repo or rpm version that is trusted?

Maybe the snap version would be better supported..

try this script

[benji88i]

Thanks a lot!

Sorry do I need to download something from github before I run "./create-package.sh"

[benji88i]

Is there anyway to rollback the flathub version. ?

[akosma]

Same issue here; Typora 1.3.6 on Ubuntu 20.04, installed with Flatpak. xdg-desktop-portal-gtk installed. Setting flatpak override --user --env=GTK_USE_PORTAL=0 io.typora.Typora does not solve the issue.

[bluesangel]

Issue persists on FedoraCore 36 after setting GTK_USE_PORTAL=0 through Flatseal. This environment variable is not a working fix.

[abnerlee]

Does version 1.4.4 works?

[plumlis]

Still doesn't work.

[sonnie-sonnig]

Does version 1.4.4 works?

Yes for the manual .deb-File-Update. No for the Flatpak. (PopOS 22.04 / Gnome 42.3.1 / X11)

[abnerlee]

Could you try 1.4.5 (flatpak)? It should be fixed in that version

[sonnie-sonnig]

Unfortunately not. This is my terminal output, when starting Typora 1.4.5. with flatpak run io.typora.Typora

@sonnie-sonnig Sorry, but does Export → PDF now shows the dialog in 1.4.5?

[sonnie-sonnig]

@abnerlee Yes, this seems to work properly with the flatpak 1.4.5.

[abnerlee]

@sonnie-sonnig Could you try 1.4.6 and see if it works now?

[plumlis]

It works well now.

[abnerlee]

Fixed in 1.4.6

[sonnie-sonnig]

It works well now.

I second that. Works fine with 1.4.6 from flathub. TY for your work.
