fix: center and resize file chooser,save,download dialogs in Hyprland #1216

Rohitd3v · 2025-09-05T16:41:02Z

Summary

This PR fixes an issue where file chooser dialogs (Open, Save, Upload) were spawning partially off-screen in Hyprland.
The root cause was case-sensitive mismatches with Xdg-desktop-portal-gtk and missing explicit window rules.

Changes

Added windowrulev2 rules to ensure:
- File chooser dialogs float
- Open centered on screen
- Use consistent 70% sizing relative to monitor

Testing

Verified in Hyprland on Arch Linux
Tested with Brave, Firefox, and system upload/save dialogs
All dialogs now correctly center instead of opening off-screen

Changelog

Fixed

File chooser dialogs in Hyprland now open centered and floating instead of off-screen

Also, some thougts about windowrules:

Maybe do it with tags (less lines == better):

windowrule = float,tag:portal-dialogs
windowrule = center,tag:portal-dialogs

windowrule = tag +portal-dialogs,class:^(org.freedesktop.impl.portal.desktop.hyprland)$
windowrule = tag +portal-dialogs,class:^(org.freedesktop.impl.portal.desktop.gtk)$
windowrule = tag +portal-dialogs,class:^([Xx]dg-desktop-portal-gtk)$

p.s. as far as I remember windowrulev2 is depreated and windowrule should be used instead

@Rohit8BitCoder can we have this in this PR too?

Suppose this line should be pushed up from line 41 to line 23:
