Disable DesktopPortal ?

[T Lee Davidson <t.lee.davidson@xxxxxxxxx>]

Benoît,

Would it be possible to have a boolean Property in Desktop.class that allows to disable the use of DesktopPortal?

I ask because I find the behavior of the xdg-desktop-portal to be quite annoying. A right-click on the project file tree to 
"Open in file manager..." opens the project directory in Visual Studio Code instead of Dolphin. (It may actually be the fault of 
xdg-desktop-portal-kde.) And for the life of me, I cannot find where that preference is stored to reset it.

Using gb.Desktop in a project to open a simple text file opens the Discover (plasma-discover) Choose Application dialog. 
Non-sandboxed applications should not have this problem.


I see DesktopPortal is also used for sending mail, so it couldn't be applied globally. But maybe as such:
[code]
Static Public Sub {Open}(Url As String, Optional {Wait} As Boolean)

  Url = File.RealPath(Url)

  If UseDesktopPortal And If DesktopPortal.Available Then
    DesktopPortal.OpenURI(Url)
  Else
    Main.RunXdgUtil("xdg-open", [Url], {Wait})
  Endif

End
[/code]

Thanks for any consideration of which you may deem this request worthy.
