Sway does not officially support xdg-desktop-portal. xdpw is a third-party project. I don't think it's Sway's responsibility to ship any kind of portal-related file. |

Ok -- i'll got for a note in the Arch Wiki. |

As of version 1.17, xdg-desktop-portal requires desktops to declare which portals should be used. For Sway, this requires a file /usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/sway-portals.conf (or a local user config). A reasonable default is to use GTK for the file picker (as wlr doesn't have file picker support) and wlr for screencast/screenshot support. Fedora does this similarly. [1] Upstream is not interested in shipping a configuration file [2] so we need to do it downstream. Fixes #72297 Fixes #79883 [1] https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/sway/blob/rawhide/f/sway-portals.conf [2] swaywm/sway#7773 See https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/sway/-/commit/c85a455eb653256b57b0b1661e398a48946e85b4

Since version 1.17, xdg-desktop-portals requires desktops to declare which portals should be used. This is via a file, e.g.
/usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/sway-portals.conf:Or this more precise one used by Fedora. Or "default=*" to just use whatever is available.
It's not clear to me whether Sway should provide a default, individual distributions should provide their own, or end users should take care of it with a local config. The Arch Linux packagers prefer an upstream file.
