[PATCH v5 0/5] MR10060: Draft: comdlg32: Use XDG Desktop Portal for native file dialogs
by Alexander Wilms (＠Alexander-Wilms) March 28, 2026

March 28, 2026

This adds XDG desktop portal integration for Wine file dialogs, with compatibility fallbacks, and solves https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51134 I used an LLM to create the patches, the wiki does not contain an LLM policy, so I don't know if this is eligible to be merged at all. I used the following sources: - https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/win32 which contains the markdown sources for e.g. - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/menurc/resource-compiler - https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/sdk-api which contains the markdown sources for e.g. - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/commdlg/nf-commdlg-geto… - https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal - https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus to determine what calls are made when choosing Save As, since it initially didn't work - Wine logs from manual testing after adding extensive TRACE calls: - Wine `notepad.exe`: `GetOpenFileNameW` / `GetSaveFileNameW` via portal - Wine `wordpad.exe`: `GetOpenFileNameW` / `GetSaveFileNameW` via portal - [`hammerplusplus.exe`](https://ficool2.github.io/HammerPlusPlus-Website/index.html) (32-bit): `IFileDialog` (`IFileDialog2_fnShow`) Open/Save As via portal - `SumatraPDF.exe`: Open via `GetOpenFileNameW` in auto; Save As uses `GetSaveFileNameW` and falls back in case of the auto policy, but uses portal when forced (WINE_FORCE_PORTAL=1) - `notepad++.exe`: `IFileDialog` (`IFileDialog2_fnShow`) Save As via portal after result-path handling fixes Implementation: - Add a portal backend in `comdlg32` for file open/save requests - Add portal handling for `GetOpenFileNameW`, `GetOpenFileNameA`, `GetSaveFileNameW`, and `GetSaveFileNameA` when requests are compatible with portal features - Route compatible `IFileDialog`/`IFileOpenDialog`/`IFileSaveDialog` paths through the portal - Keep native Wine dialogs in case of unsupported/customized dialog options - Add a combobox to `winecfg` to select the policy for XDG Desktop Portal file dialogs: auto / always / never ![image](/uploads/2a1ded4968485e84aebfc1f0ceed0aa4/image.png){width=900 height=486} ![image](/uploads/0c70d44a21fd9334de55ce64ccb4fa9b/image.png){width=900 height=486} ![image](/uploads/5f3821abbf42809cafd5edbcb343b0f8/image.png){width=485 height=600} -- v5: shell32: route SHBrowseForFolderW through portal when compatible comdlg32/tests: add IFileOpenDialog FOS_PICKFOLDERS runtime check winecfg: add portal file dialog policy and UI comdlg32: route IFileDialog through portal when compatible comdlg32: add XDG desktop portal backend for file dialogs https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/10060

[PATCH 0/4] MR10138: Draft: imm32: Only load IME with IME HKLs.
by Rémi Bernon March 26, 2026

March 26, 2026

@mzent @bsjeon I'm thinking about doing something like that, bypassing IME entirely as we should if HKL isn't an IME one, instead of checking whether host IME needs to be fed input in ImeProcessKey, it's a bit untested though. -- https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/10138

by Zhao Yi (＠Zhaoyi) March 24, 2026

[PATCH v3 0/3] MR2343: Collection of small fixes for Fusion 360
by novenary * (＠novenary) March 22, 2026

March 22, 2026

This fixes various problems I've run into while trying to use Fusion 360 in wine. - stacking issues in unmanaged mode - I also attempted to apply the same fix for managed mode, but it looks difficult to do this in a way that plays well with window managers; I think it's best left up to them to keep override_redirect windows at the top of the stack) - when the window manager sets our state to withdrawn, tell the window that it's been minimized, since the semantics are very similar - the last one is a hack because I don't really know what to do about it, when clicking on the floating popups, they gain focus, which causes wine to incorrectly make them managed and that breaks everything -- v3: winex11: don't let captionless popups be managed winex11: pass ICCCM withdrawn state as minimized winex11: restack a window's owned popups above it https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/2343

[PATCH 0/2] MR10202: mxsml3/tests: Add tests for put_text.
by Daniel Lehman (＠dlehman25) March 14, 2026

March 14, 2026

calling IXMLDOMNode_put_text on a text node leads to xmlTextSetContent in libxml2 which duplicates the text (xmlStr[n]dup) and frees the old content before setting the new calling IXMLDOMElement_put_text on an element node leads to xmlNodeParseContent in libxml2 which sets the text on the xmlNode's child and calls xmlFreeNodeList to free the old content an IXMLDOMNode reference to that internal text node holds a pointer to that freed content and crashes on IXMLDOMNode_Release <open> <-- IXMLDOMElement_put_text -> xmlNodeParseContent frees old 'content' held by IXMLDOMNode below sesame <-- IXMLDOMNode_Release on this node double-frees 'content' freed above </open> -- https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/10202

Comments and suggestions are welcome. -- v7: win32u: Don't clip update region to the window client rectangle. win32u: GetUpdateRect() should clip update rectangle to the window client area. win32u: GetUpdateRgn() should clip update region to the window client area. win32u: Clip PAINTSTRUCT.rcPaint to the window client area. server: Don't generate WM_PAINT messages for minimized windows. server: For a CS_PARENTDC child use parent for visible region calculations. server: If the being validated region covers whole window then validate everything. https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/5665
