[Feature] gtk4 file chooser?

[illtellyoulater]

What is your suggestion?

Current file-chooser does NOT show image preview for selected image/video file.

Is this because current implementations is using gtk3 instead of gtk4?

It seems that feature is currently available only in gtk4 (and it only took 18 years to get added! thatthisweek.gnome.org/posts/2022/12/twig-74/).

So, in case current file-chooser preview limitation accounts to GTK3, what do you think about switching to GTK4 for the file-chooser component? (blindly going under the assumption that GTK4 and GTK3 components can be mixed and matched?)

We are using the nativefiledialog-extended library to handle file dialogs, and they do indeed use gtk3. They have a branch with experimental gtk4 support but they seem to have given up on the port because of some technical challenges. I would be open to switching library or using a version of nativefiledialog-extended that supports gtk4, but don't have the time to investigate this as I am prioritizing other features and current ongoing work.
