hello, noob here, so, i was writing a program in go to edit a image, and for now i use os.Open(file) to select the file, how i wanted to open the file chooser maybe using org.freedesktop.portal.FileChooser for the user to select the file, but i trying searching it and i couldn’t find an answer, maybe i was using the wrong keywords, but anyway, i hope some can help me, thank you!

btw, i’m also not familiar with portals, i was hoping that i could learn a bit more how they work

    edit: ok, i discover that i can use dbus-send --session --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.FileManager1 --type=method_call /org/freedesktop/FileManager1 org.freedesktop.FileManager1.ShowItems array:string:"file:///home/me/path/to/folder/or/file" string:"", maybe i run it as host, or i try to discover how to use the dbus go package?

    Have you seen zenity or dialog? Zenity looks to include additional functionality you may not need but looks to be more active and maintained.
