Hi Rene, (In reply to Rene Engelhard from comment #24) > > I disagree. It's Lx*Qt*, so one should prefer the qt5 plugin. But does it > have a file picker?
Yes, the qt5 plugin does have a file picker (which is currently used for the lxqt case even when the kde5 plugin is used, s. commit from comment 19). Currently, LXQt selects the VCL plugin to use in the same order as kde5, s. [1], i.e. it tries "kde5" (where it gets the plain qt5 file picker), then "gtk3_kde5", "gtk3", "gtk", "gen. Other than the "kde5" plugin, plain "qt5" uses native Qt rendering instead of Cairo rendering, which is more of an experiment at the moment, and not really usable so far, so it's not included in any fallback list and I don't think it would make sense to set it as default for LXQt at the current stage. IMHO, there are two questions to answer: A) What should be the first option on LXQt (i.e. the first entry in it's "fallback list"? I'd currently see these 2 options: * a) leave kde5 the first option (as is) * b) write a separate vcl plugin on top of qt5 that uses Cairo rendering (similar to what kde5 does) B) What should be the order of all other VCL plugins in the fallback list for LXQt? For A), I'd personally suggest to leave it as is for now, until the qt5 and kde5 plugins have matured a little more, and potentially revisit the question then (and avoid the overhead of keeping a separate plugin in sync now). My previous comment was targeted at question B), and one thought of mine was to drop gtk3_kde5 from the list for the LXQt case, for the reasons mentioned in comment 21, which would mean that the fallback list for LXQt would be ["kde5", "gtk3", "gtk", "gen"] in case A) stays as is. That's just my personal opinion though, and I'd be interested to hear what you think about this.
