 Posted: Thu Nov 28, 2024 9:50 am Post subject: Using KDE file picker in libre office |
 |
|
I'm trying to set all applications to use the KDE file picker using
| Code: | | XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE |
with kde-plasma/xdg-desktop-portal-kde-6.2.2 and sys-apps/xdg-desktop-portal-1.18.4 installed.
This works for Firefox, Opera, Chrome and Thunderbird, but not for Libreoffice-bin.
The kde USE flag wasn't set, and rebuilding it with the kde USE flag only makes the overall appearance look like something from 2001. Also the option to use the inbuilt file picker or not disappeared (I had unset it previously).
doesn't work either.
I suspect it's missing KDE libraries? I use KDE apps with Openbox, a lot of the KDE libraries are pulled in, kwin and kdewindowsystem are installed but Libreoffice maybe needs something else?
I've not tried installing the source libreoffice version due to the compile time.
Has anyone had success with this? Or know of anything to try? |

Your description just sounds like LO is started with the wrong VCL plugin at runtime, even if a KF-based VCL exists. LO will on startup make assumptions about what VCL plugin to choose depending on some crude environment detection, and probably simply dismisses "kf5" or "kf6" when faced with Openbox.
Use SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN to override that detection and force your VCL plugin of choice:
