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 stuff like e.g. opening file pickers, 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)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
{{< hint type=important >}}
|
||||||
|
You don't **need** XDPH. Hyprland will work with XDPW, but XDPH has more features, like e.g.
|
||||||
|
region sharing.
|
||||||

|
## Installing
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
See [The Github repo's readme](https://github.com/hyprwm/xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Make sure to disable XDPW from starting to avoid conflicts.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For a nuclear option, you can use this script and `exec-once` it:
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
#!/bin/bash
|
||||||
|
sleep 1
|
||||||
|
killall xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland
|
||||||
|
killall xdg-desktop-portal-wlr
|
||||||
|
killall xdg-desktop-portal
|
||||||
|
/usr/lib/xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland &
|
||||||
|
sleep 2
|
||||||
|
/usr/lib/xdg-desktop-portal &
|
||||||
|
```
