PR summary
In short, the current GTK 4 works on Ubuntu 22.04 but fails on Mac. After this patch, GTK 4 only works on the latest Ubuntu (23.04) but issues on Mac are fixed. Want to know how we want to proceed - keeping the broken app on Mac or moving to Ubuntu 23.04.
This PR tries to fix GTK4 GUI on Mac by using newer version of GTK4 APIs -
FileDialog
instead ofFileChooserNative
which is deprecated. The fixed version works well on Mac. Unfortunately, it doesn't work on my Ubuntu 22.04. I got response from the Genome team that this newer version of GTK4 is not supported on Ubuntu 22.04, however, it's available on Ubuntu 23.04.PR checklist
