The way that I'm testing this is with the candidate release for
Inkscape. Which is 1.2, you can grab as a snap with: snap install
--candidate inkscape.

In Inkscape if you just draw on the canvas and hit save a save dialog
will appear. There is a selector at the bottom right that adjust which
files you see, but also which format you want to save in. So if you make
your file "test.pdf" and select "Portable Document Format (*.pdf)" in
the selector you should get a PDF file. Before these patches you will
get a file "test.pdf" which is actually an SVG file. After the patches
you'll get a "test.pdf" that is actually a PDF.

  File dialog doesn't return current filter in Ubuntu 20.04

Bug description:
  The file dialog implementation doesn't return the current filter. It
  is in the spec and it is fixed in newer versions of the portals. But
  the 1.6.0 version doesn't return it.

  This is an issue for Inkscape which uses the filter to select which
  file format someone wishes to save as if they override the defaults.
  This works well on Ubuntu 22.04.
