Description: This is a quick-and-dirty LD_PRELOAD hack that allows *some* Gtk applications to use KDE's file dialogs when run under KDE.
The Gtk file chooser functions have been overridden to communicate with this KDE module/application.
After compiling and installing this, you can run Gtk applications in 2 ways:
A. call /usr/local/bin/kgtk-wrapper gimp
B. i. Create a symbolic link from the wrapper script to your application, e.g. ln -s /usr/local/bin/kgtk-wrapper /usr/local/bin/gimp ii. Make sure /usr/local/bin is before /usr/bin (or wherever gimp is installed) in your $PATH iii. Now simply run 'gimp' - this should find the wrapper script first.
If this works OK, then edit the .desktop file (e.g. /usr/share/applications/gimp.desktop) to have "Exec=/usr/local/bin/[appname]" instead of "Exec=[appname]", e.g. for gimp.desktop this would be:
So far I have tested this with the following applications:
1. Kino. Works perfectly - in fact Kino was my main reason for doing this. 2. Firefox. Works with Firefox 1.5, but *not* Firefox 1.0.x 3. GIMP. Again, seems to work just fine. However, there is no progress bar on file loading - as GIMP uses a progress bar embedded in the file chooser. 4. Inkscape. Works OK - at least 0.43 5. Streamtuner - the folder browser button works. 6. AbiWord - does *not* work. Don't even try... 7. Glade2. Seems to work OK, however I have had it crash when loading Kino's .glade file, but not always. So I'm not sure if this is Glade's fault, or mine. 8. Eclipse. Will work only if dlsym can be overriden
As the only Gtk apps I use are Kino, GIMP, and a little of Firefox, this library works great for me. Your millage may vary, and please note that this is only a quick hack to get things working now for me. I'm not sure how stable it will be under heavy usage, so don't be surprised if it breaks. However, if it does break - the only thing that should happen is that the Gtk apps will fall back to using the standard Gtk dialogs.
p.s. Before anyone asks, as they always do: Widget style: QtCurve, works for KDE and Gtk (also does KDE->Gtk icon mapping). This is set on the "Clear" variation. Window decoration: Crystal with Knifty buttons Font: Verdana. However, I have recompiled FreeType with the TrueType byte encoder enabled - this give great looking non anti-aliased fonts (otherwise they look *horrible*)Last changelog:
0.11.0 ------ 1. Gtk3 support. 2. Better, and safer, lookup of file filters. 3. Correctly determine size of string needed for pidfile! 4. Add thunderbird, and LibreOffice apps, to list of gtk2 apps. 5. Cleanup usless stuff; remove kdialogd3, qt3, qt4, kgtk2-wrapper, kqt3-wrapper, kqt4-wrapper. 6. Merge kgtkXX-wrapper scripts into kgtk-wrapper 7. Install kdialogd4 into KDE4 libexec dir. 8. Fix crash where client is terminated whilst file dialog is open. 9. Configurable debug. Pass cmake -DKGTK_DEBUG=true When starting app, set KGTK_DEBUG env var, e.g.
KGTK_DEBUG=0x10 kgtk-wrapper lowriter
0x01 Connection debug 0x02 General debug 0x04 Filter get and set debug 0x08 Filter creation debug 0x10 Custom widget debug 0x20 dlsym debug Values may be combined
10. If LibreOffice is detected (app is libreoffice, lowriter, etc.) then also set the OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP env var to gnome, so that we get nicer themeing. 11. When passing filters to KFileDialog, replace / with \/ 12. Make filter combo non-editable. 13. When returning selected filter to Gtk app, also return the filter name and not just the file pattern. This way if two filters have the same file pattern the corrent one can be selected. 14. Support for checkbox custom widgets. 15. Save location history per app.

Because Kubuntu remove native support for KDE file dialogs in Firefox (more info here: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTA3MjI ) many users searching the way to solve this problem and got KDE file dialogs back.
So will be good if anybody can provide ppa with kgk packages, because install from ppa is very easier that compiling from sources.
In launchpad there are already exist KGTK package team: https://launchpad.net/~kgtk/+archive/ppa but version is too old. Is there any problems to compile updated version for Kubuntu 12.04?
While KGTK for Kubuntu 12.04 didn't exist in ppa, I have found PPA with patched firefox for Kubuntu 12.04 users: https://launchpad.net/~alexey-ivanov/+archive/firefox-kde
I can confirm the crash. But **please** do not report KGtk errors to upstream projects. KGtk is a massive *HACK*. The fact that it sometimes works is a bonus, but it messes about underneath the toolkit, so its hardly surprising that somethings crash.
Why not use the firefox-kde support created by openSUSE? This works much better, and is packaged with KUbuntu as well.
I've found the corresponding package in Launchad: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+package/firefox-kde-support .
Surprisingly it's listed as an existing Ubuntu 12.04 package, although it can't be downloaded from the official Ubuntu repositories.
I've installed the package but it seems to have no effect on the file dialog window of the most recent version of Firefox.
Is there a way to integrate this program in chakra. Actually apps like gimp or firefox are installed using bundles.Everytime you launch a program the system mount a little partition in which the program is executed.
Is there a way to use kgtk?
The wrapper doesn't work with bluefish; the terminal output when launching this program with and without the wrapper differs only in one line:
QSocketNotifier: Invalid socket 12 and type 'Read', disabling...
comparing when closing wrapped bluefish.
Does bluefish start via a shell script? If so, then kgtk-wrapper will not be able to determine if its a Gtka pp or not. To force kgtk-wrapper to use Gtk2 for 'bluefish' (or whatever the commandline name is), edit ~/.kde/share/config/kgtkrc to have:
[Apps]
bluefish=gtk2
Does that help?
Just let me repeat that I think this is awesome :D
Gimp and Inkscape work perfectly. LibreOffice and Firefox have KDE file dialogs in openSUSE anyway so no need for those with kgtk2 btw.
I just wish there was an easier way of using this (for all gtk apps, maybe with a whitelist) than editing the global files which conflicts with package management...
Hi,
I'm not able to compile it under KDE 4.5.2. It seems like they removed some files under this minor release:

Did you have an idea ?
Nota for the po, they are not all utf-8 that why we get warnings
Hi,
you miss two bytes in the malloc in getPidFilename() and kdialogd4 crashes reliably.
Could you apply the following (or similar) patch (sorry, space is garbled) ?

Because Kubuntu remove native support for KDE file dialogs in Firefox (more info here: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTA3MjI ) many users searching the way to solve this problem and got KDE file dialogs back. So will be good if anybody can provide ppa with kgk packages, because install from ppa is very easier that compiling from sources. In launchpad there are already exist KGTK package team: https://launchpad.net/~kgtk/+archive/ppa but version is too old. Is there any problems to compile updated version for Kubuntu 12.04?
While KGTK for Kubuntu 12.04 didn't exist in ppa, I have found PPA with patched firefox for Kubuntu 12.04 users: https://launchpad.net/~alexey-ivanov/+archive/firefox-kde
Can confirm that kgtk crashs firefox after dwonload in KDE 4.8 see downstream bug report: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=401697
Same on archlinux...
Same on archlinux... (firefox:2483): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_entry_get_text: assertion `GTK_IS_ENTRY (entry)' failed
I can confirm the crash. But **please** do not report KGtk errors to upstream projects. KGtk is a massive *HACK*. The fact that it sometimes works is a bonus, but it messes about underneath the toolkit, so its hardly surprising that somethings crash. Why not use the firefox-kde support created by openSUSE? This works much better, and is packaged with KUbuntu as well.
Unfortunately firefox-kde-support is no longer packaged for Kubuntu 12.04 Precise. :(
I've found the corresponding package in Launchad: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+package/firefox-kde-support . Surprisingly it's listed as an existing Ubuntu 12.04 package, although it can't be downloaded from the official Ubuntu repositories. I've installed the package but it seems to have no effect on the file dialog window of the most recent version of Firefox.
Kubuntu 12.04 remove support for this package: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTA3MjI
Firefox crash when I try save page. Tested on 8 and 9 versions.
Is there a way to integrate this program in chakra. Actually apps like gimp or firefox are installed using bundles.Everytime you launch a program the system mount a little partition in which the program is executed. Is there a way to use kgtk?
I tried kgtk-wrapper with Hanbrake GUI and it have works. But it not be able choose a directory (only files).
The wrapper doesn't work with bluefish; the terminal output when launching this program with and without the wrapper differs only in one line: QSocketNotifier: Invalid socket 12 and type 'Read', disabling... comparing when closing wrapped bluefish.
Does bluefish start via a shell script? If so, then kgtk-wrapper will not be able to determine if its a Gtka pp or not. To force kgtk-wrapper to use Gtk2 for 'bluefish' (or whatever the commandline name is), edit ~/.kde/share/config/kgtkrc to have: [Apps] bluefish=gtk2 Does that help?
No, it isn't a script: $ file /usr/bin/bluefish /usr/bin/bluefish: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.27, stripped ldd output: http://paste.kde.org/143666/
Have successfully used the wrapper with: * truecrypt * gnome-mplayer Regards
Link to source is wrong
Just let me repeat that I think this is awesome :D Gimp and Inkscape work perfectly. LibreOffice and Firefox have KDE file dialogs in openSUSE anyway so no need for those with kgtk2 btw. I just wish there was an easier way of using this (for all gtk apps, maybe with a whitelist) than editing the global files which conflicts with package management...
Hi, I'm not able to compile it under KDE 4.5.2. It seems like they removed some files under this minor release: [100%] Building CXX object kdialogd4/CMakeFiles/kdialogd4_bin.dir/kdialogd.o In file included from /usr/include/kfileitem.h:32, from /usr/include/kdirlister.h:24, from /usr/include/kdiroperator.h:30, from /var/tmp/portage/kde-misc/kgtk-0.10.1/work/KGtk-0.10.1/kdialogd4/kdialogd.cpp:5: /usr/include/kdatetime.h:32:21: error: QMetaType: No such file or directory

can you add support for chromium browser?

Hi, you miss two bytes in the malloc in getPidFilename() and kdialogd4 crashes reliably.
