The GTK file picker started opening up the Nextcloud app out of nowhere after an update, because it detected I have it set up and not running in the background. Who at GNOME thought it would be a good idea to start an app with a window in the foreground automatically without user's knowledge.Total GTK and GNOME death.

@Maholmire KDE, I could set on fire, too. The world would still be *fine* if that happened.

@phnt What's the usecase of a filepicker? :ebussy:

@mint Picking files. Nothing special.

@phnt :ebussy: Usecase unclear, we have more important tasks to focus on. You're free to submit a merge request.

@p @Maholmire KDE isn't amazing, but by far the most usable DE if you need semi-modern features like HiDPI scaling or touch controls. And Qt is a passable toolkit when compared to GTK that depends on complete garbage like GLib.

@phnt @Maholmire Features are features; they're trivial.Mainly, DEs are terrible. It's like a question of how to make the best horse-drawn airplane.> Qt is a passable toolkit when compared to GTKTk is more pleasant than either of those, but gtk at least doesn't require C++.

@phnt the mentality of "you installed this software so it should be running automatically all the time every time" is so fucking bizarre.

@prettygood They think they own your device now basically.

@phnt please stop using electronically ambiguous language. We don't have "devices" we have computers and mobile phones and whatever the hell else people connect to the internet these days and labels matter, look I don't exactly know where I started going with this joke but I've clearly gotten lost but tldr I hate that word.

@phnt Convinced GTK/GNOME devs are controlled opposition to drive people to proprietary software. It's working.

@p @Maholmire I don't mind using C++ if it gives me advantages over other options. In this case it gives me a sensible way of programming, actually working cross-platform development and I don't have to fight with GTK. The negatives are longer compile times, sometimes necessary OOP and Qt's insistence on doing stupid shit with C++ and it's additions.I can't speak for other toolkits/frameworks like Tk or EFL, because I never used them.

@prettygood>We don't have "devices" we have computers and mobile phones...And GNOME runs on both. Sadly. Technically I wouldn't even call modern mobile phones (smartphones) as phones anymore, because they literally are computers with a cellular modem in your pocket.

that's actually a side effect of new apps registering as handlers for file mimetypes, happened to me with vscode, easytag and others

@mischievoustomato That's beyond stupid. How do I get rid of that, because the Nextcloud app only registered itself for `*.nextcloud` files (Nextcloud virtual files) and I have none of them.

@shibao It would help if Firefox, Brave, Signal and Ferdium didn't use GTK. Then my life would be much better.

it has to have registered itself as a handler of somethingin a term, gio mime <type> gives you what .desktop launcher files handle a given mime type, and gio mime set <type> <desktop file> sets one as the default. for example, to fix my folder issue (them opening with easytag or vscode)gio mime inode/directory org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop

@mischievoustomato Nope, this is a DBus issue. When the file picker starts it probably asks gvfsd to integrate the Nextcloud folder thingy in the sidebar and starts the app. The app starts with the `--background` option, but actually never starts in background on non-DE environments probably. There's no way for the integration to be turned of and I just removed that DBus service for now. Redirecting it to a systemd service and masking it might work too.
