Description-en: desktop integration portal for Flatpak and Snap
xdg-desktop-portal provides a portal frontend service for Flatpak, Snap,
and possibly other desktop containment/sandboxing frameworks. This service
is made available to the sandboxed application, and provides mediated
D-Bus interfaces for file access, URI opening, printing and similar
desktop integration features.
.
The implementation of these interfaces is expected to require
user confirmation before responding to the sandboxed application's
requests. For example, when the sandboxed application ask to open a file,
the portal implementation will open an "Open" dialog outside the sandbox,
and will only make the selected file available to the sandboxed app if
that dialog is confirmed.
.
xdg-desktop-portal is designed to be desktop-agnostic, and uses a
desktop-environment-specific GUI backend such as xdg-desktop-portal-gtk
to provide its functionality.
