>I'm all ears on how to solve that file picker problem though

Use the for long time available patch for GTK file chooser, use an XDG portal to open KDE file chooser instead of the GTK one, or use a Qt-based (KDE or Deepin) rather a GTK-based environment. And for any interested programmers, a maintainer recently has outlined some steps[0] to introduce that functionality in a way that probably GNOME devs will accept.

GTK! I should have known that was the culprit. Remember gtk2 when there was a bunch of great apps that just worked? I remember :(

Next time I'm on a graphical linux system I'll muck around with XDG to get PCManFM or whatever as default. Thanks.
