Build with XDG Desktop Portal GUI backend on Linux

[ImperatorStorm]

While the rfd crate provides both GTK3 and xdg-desktop-portal backends, Ferium only builds the GTK3 backend, causing non-Gnome users to see this mess of a filechooser that likely doesn't conform to their desktop environment:

Programs that do support the specification(e.g. Firefox+derivatives) instead provide a file chooser provided by their desktop environment. For example, Plasma provides this:

Depends on PolyMeilex/rfd#42, which in turn depends on flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal#796

@KyleUltimate I'm going to make three linux binaries

• ferium-linux-gnu-nogui
• ferium-linux-gnu-gtk
• ferium-linux-gnu-xdg

What do you think? Do you think these will work out for the AUR packages? Arch users would know which GUI to pick so no problem with that imo

[theRookieCoder]

Oof the xdg backend just added 30 dependencies

[JustSimplyKyle]

Should be fine, I'll just separate the -gui packages into -xdg and -gtk3

[JustSimplyKyle]

Although for current -gui users, should they automatically migrate to xdg or gtk?

[JustSimplyKyle]

Also, is this package opended by gorilla's dev?

Nope, I have no idea what that is or who uploaded it. It's not even named properly. Oh and it seems to have the bzip2 dependency which is you should probably add, it was added for unzipping modpack files (and also could you update the description & repo url & version for all 4 packages)

[theRookieCoder]

I think I'll email the person and tell them that there are already official AUR packages

[theRookieCoder]

should they automatically migrate to xdg or gtk

Is it possible to let them choose? If not choose one based on which DE is used the most on arch, I think it's probably Plasma because of Manjaro

[JustSimplyKyle]

Hmm
Then I'll use xdg for default then
Since that will work no matter on gnome or plasma

[theRookieCoder]

Yeah I read something like this somewhere. So is the GTK backend completely unnecessary?

[JustSimplyKyle]

I think yeah
