1.28.0: Flatpak file dialogs through the portal, the Start menu's chevron in place

on GitHub

New

• Flatpak programs can open and save files. A sandboxed program asks xdg-desktop-portal for its file dialog, and the portal never started under this desktop, so Open and Save As in a Flatpak program did nothing. The session now brings up graphical-session.target (through the new l2k-session.target), and the file chooser is the shell's own: Open, Save As and Select Folder, over the program's window, with its title, its button and its file types. Save As asks before replacing a file. The new l2kportal provides it; everything else the portal offers comes from its GTK back end. The installer brings xdg-desktop-portal and xdg-desktop-portal-gtk. Takes effect at the next logon.

Fixed

• The Start menu's chevron unrolls its group in place (#8). Clicking the » at the foot of a folded group closed the menu and reopened it at the top, so Programs and the group had to be found again; now the group unrolls where it is, as on Windows 2000, and Enter on the chevron does the same. The two-column Start menu's All Programs closed outright on a chevron; it unrolls too. The Flatpak and Windows Programs groups no longer expand the first category's (and it theirs).

• The Open and Save As dialog's Cancel button was cut off wherever there was no "Files of type" box -- Run's Browse among them.
