Hi,

I've started running Krita under Linux Mint 17 (64-bit, Cinnamon desktop), and I was wondering whether there was some configuration file setting that would allow Krita to use the default desktop file Open/Save dialogs - so I can use the Cinnamon file bookmarks etc - instead of the default Krita layout?

Regards, Terry

If cinnamon has a different file dialog than the default GTK one, there is no possibility to use that. Krita uses Qt and KDE, and they provide:

* the Qt file dialog on all platforms
* the KDE file dialog on all platforms
* the GTK file dialog on X11
* the native Windows dialog on Windows
* the native OSX dialog on OSX

In the current development version of Krita, we use the KDE file dialog on KDE (env variable KDE_FULL_SESSION is set), the GTK file dialog on Gnome (XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP = GNOME), the Qt file dialog everywhere else. On Windows and OSX we use the native file dialogs.

If you want the GTK file dialog outside gnome, you could try to start krita with a script that sets (XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP to GNOME.
