XDG Desktop portal in Qt

[chronix]

I'm trying to open file in a Qt app via org.freedesktop.portal.FileChooser. So far it works the thing I'm stuck with is the filters.

The doc say to use the format filters a(sa(us))

QDBusMessage message = QDBusMessage::createMethodCall(
    QLatin1String("org.freedesktop.portal.Desktop"),
    QLatin1String("/org/freedesktop/portal/desktop"),
    QLatin1String("org.freedesktop.portal.FileChooser"),
    QLatin1String("OpenFile"));

message << QLatin1String("x11:") << QLatin1String("Open PDF File") <<
QVariantMap {
        {QLatin1String("handle_token"), getRequestToken()},
        {QLatin1String("multiple"), false},
         {QLatin1String("filters"), QVariantMap {
         {QLatin1String ("PDF File"), QVariantList {
                 {}
            }}
        }}
};

Can some help me how to write a filter for PDF file.

Hi,

Not a direct answer but why not use QDesktopService::openUrl ?

Or are you trying to make your app open that file type ?
