<pre>Starting with GTK+ 3.20 there is a new GtkFileChooserNative file chooser
dialog implementation:
<a href="https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/gtk3-GtkFileChooserNative.html">https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/gtk3-GtkFileChooserNative.html</a>
It would be interesting to use it if possible, when building with GTK+ 3.20+
because it allows for a few niceties which better integrate applications
using WebKitGTK+ into the running environment:
- When an application is running on a desktop environment which does not
use GTK+, the desktop environment could set up things to use its native
open/save dialogs (e.g. the Epiphany running on KDE could use Qt dialogs).
- When an application is running inside a sandboxed environment (for example
with Flatpak — <a href="http://flatpak.org">http://flatpak.org</a>), “portals” may be used automatically
to allow for selection of files from outside of the sandboxed environment.
- Using platform-specific open/save dialogs where available (e.g. in Mac OS;
at the moment it is not possible to build a recent WebKitGTK+ for Windows,
but the code would be ready to use Windows systems dialogs if somebody
would add the other missing pieces).
Note that GtkFileChooserNative has a few shortcomings when compared to
GtkFileChooserDialog, so part of the work is to evaluate whether the current
uses of the latter can be replaced with GtkFileChooserNative.</pre>
