There were only xdg-desktop-portal and xdg-desktop-portal-gtk installed and
running after login to kde.
After installing xdg-desktop-portal-kde and logging out and in, it was
immediately running after login. Chromium now utilizes the KDE file dialog.
Yaaayy! :-D
So the fix should be to make xdg-desktop-portal-kde a dependency for plasma-
desktop, I assume. I have not changed my version of chromium and it is not a
bug in that sense...
Thanks a lot for your effort!
