XDPH doesn't implement a file picker. For that, it is recommended to install
|
||||||
|
`xdg-desktop-portal-gtk` alongside XDPH.

## Usage
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
XDPH is automatically started by D-Bus, once Hyprland starts.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To check if everything is OK is, try to screenshare anything, or opening OBS and
|
||||||
|
select the PipeWire source. If XDPH is running, a Qt menu will pop up asking you
|
||||||
|
what to share.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
XDPH will work on other wlroots compositors, but features available only on
|
||||||
|
Hyprland will not work (e.g. window sharing).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For a nuclear option, you can use this script and `exec-once` it:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
#!/usr/bin/env bash
|
||||||
|
sleep 1
|
||||||
|
killall -e xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland
|
||||||
|
killall xdg-desktop-portal
|
||||||
|
/usr/lib/xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland &
|
||||||
|
sleep 2
|
||||||
|
/usr/lib/xdg-desktop-portal &
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Adjust the paths if they're incorrect.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Share picker doesn't use the system theme
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Try one or both:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
dbus-update-activation-environment --systemd --all
|
||||||
|
systemctl --user import-environment QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If it works, add it to your config in `exec-once`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Using the KDE file picker with XDPH
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
XDPH does not implement a file picker and uses the GTK one as a fallback by
|
||||||
|
default (see `/usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/hyprland-portals.conf`). If you want
|
||||||
|
to use the KDE file picker but let XDPH handle everything else, create a file
|
||||||
|
`~/.config/xdg-desktop-portal/hyprland-portals.conf` with the following content:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```ini
|
||||||
|
[preferred]
|
||||||
|
default = hyprland;gtk
|
||||||
|
org.freedesktop.impl.portal.FileChooser = kde
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can read more about this in the
|
||||||
|
[xdg-desktop-portal documentation in the Arch Wiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XDG_Desktop_Portal).
|
||||||
|
Note that some applications like Firefox may require additional configuration to
|
||||||
|
use the KDE file picker.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Debugging
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you get long app launch times, or screensharing does not work, consult the
|
||||||
|
logs.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`systemctl --user status xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you see a crash, it's likely you are missing either `qt6-wayland` or
|
||||||
|
`qt5-wayland`.

title: Hyprland Desktop Portal
|
|
||||||
---
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
An XDG Desktop Portal (later called XDP) is a program that lets other
|
|
||||||
applications communicate swiftly with the compositor through D-Bus.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It's used for things like opening file pickers or screen sharing.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
On Wayland, it also requires an implementation. For Hyprland, you'd usually use
|
|
||||||
`xdg-desktop-portal-wlr` (later called XDPW)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Unfortunately, due to various reasons the -wlr portal is inferior to the KDE or
|
|
||||||
GNOME ones.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
In order to bridge the gap, Hyprland has its own fork of XDPW that has more
|
|
||||||
features, called
|
|
||||||
[xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland](https://github.com/hyprwm/xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland).
|
|
||||||
(later called XDPH)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
{{< callout >}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You don't **need** XDPH. Hyprland will work with XDPW, but XDPH has more
|
|
||||||
features, such as window sharing.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
XDPH will work on other wlroots-based compositors, although limited to the XDPW
|
|
||||||
features (other will be disabled).

## Usage
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Should start automatically.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The most basic way of seeing if everything is OK is by trying to screenshare
|
|
||||||
anything, or by opening OBS and selecting the PipeWire source. If XDPH is running, a Qt menu
|
|
||||||
will pop up asking you what to share.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If it doesn't, or if, for example, `slurp` gets opened instead, then XDPW is launching. In that case, try
|
|
||||||
removing XDPW.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
XDPH will work on other wlroots compositors, but features available only on
|
|
||||||
Hyprland will not work (e.g. window sharing).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
For a nuclear option, you can use this script and `exec-once` it:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```sh
|
|
||||||
#!/usr/bin/env bash
|
|
||||||
sleep 1
|
|
||||||
killall -e xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland
|
|
||||||
killall -e xdg-desktop-portal-wlr
|
|
||||||
killall xdg-desktop-portal
|
|
||||||
/usr/lib/xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland &
|
|
||||||
sleep 2
|
|
||||||
/usr/lib/xdg-desktop-portal &
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Adjust the paths if they're incorrect.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Share picker doesn't use the system theme
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Try one or both:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```sh
|
|
||||||
dbus-update-activation-environment --systemd --all
|
|
||||||
systemctl --user import-environment QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If it works, add it to your config in `exec-once`.

If you want to use the KDE file picker but let XDPH handle everything else, create a file `~/.config/xdg-desktop-portal/hyprland-portals.conf` with the following content:

You can read more about this in the [xdg-desktop-portal documentation in the Arch Wiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XDG_Desktop_Portal). Note that some applications like Firefox may require additional configuration to use the KDE file picker.
