1882079 - [Flatpak] Choosing download directory over FileChooser portal doesn't display real path

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Widget: Gtk, defect)

Description

[Jan Grulich]

Choosing a download directory in the Preference dialog over FileChooser portal (when FF run as a Flatpak) will show the path as exported by the document portal, which might be confusing for users as it might appear that it's not the path they picked.

This path should be displayed as selected in the file dialog. There is now a new API proposed to document portal, where clients can ask for the real path and have this path displayed instead.

Use the new API addition to Document portal allowing clients to get real
path to the exported document. This allows to still use the same path as
provided by the document portal, but display the path as exists on the
host side.
