Bug description

If I have a dolphin as default file manager on local system on Fedora 40 and if I try to save an image (or export a container), but it also may apply to any other input of file picker type, I cannot choose the file and path using dolphin. It simply do not pass the path value from the manager into podman desktop.

If I press Browse button I got to the dolphin:
Screenshot_20240604_084811

I choose the location and file name and press Save:
Screenshot_20240604_084828

I understand that this seems like a system problem, but maybe aren't we missing some parameter to be passed into file picker that would makes things easier for user with a default file manager?

Operating system

Fedora 40

Installation Method

Installer from website/GitHub releases

Version

next (development version)

Steps to reproduce

  1. Have Dolphin as a default file manager on Fedora system (might be any other linux as well)
  2. Start up podman desktop, pull some image (alpine)
  3. Choose to save the image
  4. In the Save image page, click on Browse button
  5. navigate to the folder you want you image to be saved at
  6. choose file name
  7. Press Save
  8. Assert: The file path (folder + file name) appears in the PD save image page
    Actual result: The export to field is empty

Workaround: In the file manager picker, type in the file path manually

We are using the electron api to get the file explorer so might be an issue on their side.

There is an issue related to desktop environment file picker electron/electron#2911 but as it is closed, might be a bug then.

Probably similar to microsoft/vscode#212125
