Visual Studio Code OSS file dialog bug

[tapir]

VSCode OSS's file dialog doesn't adhere to global Gnome theme, nor does it show the bookmarks

[amtlib-dot-dll]

I think that it's time to upgrade to the latest runtime

[tapir]

You mean that it's fixed now or I was using an out dated runtime?

[amtlib-dot-dll]

I've upgraded the runtime to the latest one, please try it and tell us whether your problem still exists.

[tapir]

The problem still persists. File dialog is still not adhering to the dark theme like all other apps and it doesn't show nautilus bookmarks.

[amtlib-dot-dll]

Will the proprietary version https://github.com/flathub/com.visualstudio.code have the same issue?

[tapir]

The proprietary version is the same

[amtlib-dot-dll]

That's weird. I wish there would be a GNOME developer answering where GNOME file dialog stores the "Recent" data

[tapir]

It's not recent data though. It's bookmarks. People can explicitly set bookmarks on nautilus and it will show in the file dialog as well.

Also the the theme. So I'm guessing it doesn't use user's nautilus settings at all.

[amtlib-dot-dll]

Perhaps. Would you give us some examples of Flatpak applications which can read nautilus settings? BTW, I am curious about whether Visual Studio Code outside Flatpak read those data

[tapir]

All the gnome apps can use them. From flathub I'm using gnome-books, gnome-notes, gnome-documents, etc... And yes the vscode from arch linux repo does use the global settings as well.

[amtlib-dot-dll]

Try this?

flatpak run --filesystem=xdg-run/dconf --filesystem=~/.config/dconf:ro --talk-name=ca.desrt.dconf --env=DCONF_USER_CONFIG_DIR=.config/dconf com.visualstudio.code.oss

Well it seems not working 🤔

[tapir]

unfortunately no

[tapir]

I don't know if this helps but from the flatpak website: "Portals"

Examples of capabilities that can be accessed through portals include opening files through a file chooser dialog, or printing. Interface toolkits can implement transparent support for portals, so access to resources outside of the sandbox will work securely and out of the box.

[amtlib-dot-dll]

Visual Studio Code does not use Portals, and many other non-GNOME applications have the same issue. Stay tuned
