I'm one of the Chrome OS developers. I would like to make it possible for wine apps running in the crostini linux VM to use the Chrome OS native FilesApp for file chooser when possible.�� Using the native FilesApp improves the UX consistency, and also allows us to let VM apps get access to files outside the VM which can be shared on-demand when a user selects.
Does wine already have any APIs where a native file chooser dialog can be configured either during compile or at runtime?�� I don't see anything.
I've been looking at the possibilities today, and doing some testing using Notepad2.exe (since it is the simplest windows app I know).�� I see that it calls GetOpenFilenameW() to launch a file chooser which is implemented in��dlls/comdlg32/filedlg.c��GetFileDialog95().�� Do most (all) apps use this same API for a file chooser?
Would GetFileDialog95() be a possible place to call out to a native file chooser?�� I'm not familiar with this space, but I've discovered today that xdg-desktop-portal dbus APIs (org.freedesktop.portal.FileChooser) could be a suitable approach.
I'm planning to look at this a little more and try and get some code running soon. I can send some patches then, but any help now to point me in a good direction is appreciated.
Thanks
Joel
