This affects all users of this API, particularly the chromium and firefox snaps. * This is an upstream bug that was fixed in later versions of xdg- desktop-portal, this SRU backports the fix to the 1.6 series that's in focal. [Test Plan] * On a focal machine, install the chromium snap, launch it and download any file from a web page (from e.g. https://kernel.org/) * Once the download is complete, browse to chrome://downloads * Click the "Show in folder" link for the downloaded file, this opens a Nautilus window showing the contents of the default downloads directory (e.g. $HOME/Downloads) * Expected result: the downloaded file is selected in the Nautilus window * Actual result without the patch: no file is selected * Similarly for the firefox snap, downloading a file and clicking the "Show in Folder" button in the downloads panel should select the downloaded file * General functionality of all other portals (including the wallpaper portal) should be thoroughly tested to look out for regressions [Where problems could occur] * The backported patches potentially affect other portals (not just OpenURI), including the Wallpaper portal. * Therefore the functionality of all other portals should be thoroughly tested to ensure there are no functional regressions. [Other Info] * The firefox snap wasn't using this API before version 103.0, which at the time of writing this hasn't officially been released yet (it is due for release tomorrow, 2022-07-26). In the meantime it can be installed from the candidate channel. [Original Description] This is an upstream issue (https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop- portal/issues/564) that was fixed in xdg-desktop-portal 1.10.0. I'm proposing to SRU the corresponding patch to focal. This will be especially useful for browsers packaged as snaps (see bug #1887195 for chromium, and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1772063 for firefox).
