I can't reproduce this here. However, the area to resize is small and cursor-icon doesn't change, but resize does work. Can you try again with the cursor more precisely on the edge or shadow of the dialog? If it doesn't work, can you resize the window with super + secondary-click (GNOME Tweaks Application -> Windows-> Resize with Secondary-Click)?

I'm also not sure if this is Vaults related, since I don't do fancy stuff but just call GTK-builtin FileChooserDialog.

Ahh yes it is indeed like you said.

I think it might be related to Vaults using GTK4? But if that the case, Kooha is using the same GTK4 but the curson-icon does change and the area to resize is normal.

@mpobaschnig sorry this is out of topic, gocryptfs documentations mention this:
Also, keep a copy of your master key (printed on mount) in a safe place. This allows you to access the data even if the gocryptfs.conf config file is damaged or you lose the password.

do you know what they mean by master key? is it gocryptfs.conf file?

Kind of, yes, just tested it. This comes from the dialogs that have modal not set to true. It seems not all dialogs of Vaults have modal set to true, so some of them behave like this. I will fix this later on.

When creating a vault with gocryptfs in command line, you get a master key that you can use to decrypt your data in case your config file is corrupted (bitrot, ...) or you forget your password. This is only printed on vault creation.

Not sure if it's worth it to expose this to users since you still have to backup everything properly regardless, and KDE Vault also doesn't show this to users.

So it will be fine as long as I have a backup of the conf file right?

Still I think it's worth mentioning it though... At least telling the users to backup their conf file.
Because having an unencrypted version of file as a backup kinda defeating its purpose...

Yes, gocryptfs.conf and remembering its password to decrypt.

Can you please create a new issue where we can further discuss this, so we can stay on-topic here.

May or may not be related to this, but the file picker window increases in size every time I open it.

On the Flatpak build 0.2.1, but it also happened in 0.1

This happens only on X11, not on Wayland, for me. Not sure if this is actually Vaults related, but you want you can create an issue for that if you want.

Guess this can be closed now, since all dialogs are set to modal now.
