Send-remote-file-URIs-as-local-FUSE-URIs.patch Send remote file URIs as local FUSE URIs
Several people complain that they can't save files in remote
drives (like a SMB mount) from containerized applications (like
Firefox). After doing several tests, I found that it worked fine
when using xdg-desktop-portal-gtk, but not when using
xdg-desktop-portal-gnome.

The reason seems to be that xdg-desktop-portal-gtk translates
the smb:// URIs (and other remote URIs like sftp://) into
locally accessible file:// URIs (thanks to the FUSE backends
available with Gvfs), but xdg-desktop-portal-gnome doesn't do
that.

This patch fixes this by checking each URI obtained from the
GtkFileChooser dialog, and if it isn't a "file://" one, it tries
to translate it into its FUSE local URI.
