Linux can't open file

Post by alacant »

Hi
What's the program called which handles file opening on Ubuntu? I hit 'Open' and ST crashes. I can't remember the name of the dialog control which brings up the file choice window. Ive a new installation and I'm sure I'm missing that utility. kubuntu 20.04.
TIA,
Steve

** found it... zenity
I wonder which distributions don't include it by default?
@Ivo would it be possible to ship it with st? A small appimage perhaps?

At the very least we should have a warning/popup in case Zenity is not available!
