Helpful features for xdg-desktop-portal-termfilechooser

[poperigby]

I'm implementing a script for xdg-desktop-portal-termfilechooser, and there are a few missing features from Yazi that would make the experience better.

• Ability to select directories with --chooser-file: This would be helpful for when the portal requests that you choose a directory. I'm currently using --cwd-file, entering a directory, and then quitting but the UX would be better if you could select a directory.
• Ability to show a message using a command line flag: This would be helpful for giving some context.
• Flag for only showing directories: For when the portal asks for us to choose a directory

If these could be implemented with a plugin easier, that would be fine too.

Thanks for making Yazi! 🙂

👍 on the suggestions. Yazi is convenient to use with termfilechooser as it is fast to start up.

Regarding the first one: --chooser-file should work with directories the same way as with the regular files. Select a directory with o or Enter (unless you have configured yazi's Smart enter). I have added a PR for yazi wrapper that combines --chooser-file and --cwd-file options for directories selection.
