Question about the native Select Dialog #289
Comments
According to #183 and AvaloniaUI/Avalonia#10320 , Avalonia has some compatibility issues when using the system file picker. |
I read the issue #183 just before opening my question; that's also the reason why there are 3 points in my suggestion - I think point 2 could be platform / back-end agnostic (and the easiest to implement), and point 3 would mean an improvement on the current Select Directory dialog. Do you think it is worth the effort ? edit: fixed a typo. |
I'll consider how to implement this.
|
Should things be better after this: AvaloniaUI/Avalonia@d2fbbc4 ? It made it into 11.1.3 |
Since I have upgraded to a system that has better support for FreeDesktop, I am currently unable to confirm if #183 is fixed. |
#183 also has a related PR AvaloniaUI/Avalonia#14548 that merged into |
Hello,
First, congrats and thank you for designing and building this great application, it has a very nice, intuitive and consistent look and feel !
There is a question, however about the Select Directory dialog - at least on Linux.
Different desktop environments have different feature sets and users have, sometimes, their own customizations and expectations.
When an application replaces the native select dialogs with its own, the custom settings are not present and it can make the select operation unnecessarily harder.
For example, on KDE Plasma, the users can drag and drop on the sidebar of the Select Dialog shortcuts to the frequently used folders or network paths.
With the current select dialog, I have to always start from the same point (the home folder) and work my way towards the folder I want to use, and there are no custom links on the side.
Long story short, here is what I want to say:
I'm not sure how this fits with your vision on how the application should be implemented, but I hope you will consider adding them at some point.
Thank you and best wishes !
