Here’s the situation: I use the Obsidian Flatpak with Plasma on openSUSE Tumbleweed. For a long time the Obsidian file picker was the Plasma version, and life was good. After an update of openSUSE and my Obsidian Flatpak, I’m now getting the Gnome file picker. Life now makes less sense.

I’ve confirmed that other Flatpaks are still using the Plasma file picker. I’ve also been investigating my xdg-desktop-portal configuration based off of what I’ve been reading here, but it all looks correct to me.

I can’t decide whether this change was because of Obsidian, the Flatpak packaging of Obsidian, or an openSUSE change. Does anyone have tips on tracking this down?

    I don’t have Obsidian around, but this has been happening elsewhere lately too, almost certainly because of this underlying Electron issue: https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/43819

    Unfortunately there’s not much you can do about it. Electron decided to depend on functionality not yet in a released version, and that very interesting choice flows down to everything that updates their Electron on the regular.
