Use ranger as chrome file chooser

1. Copy the contents of kdialog to /usr/local/bin/kdialog
2. Copy the contents of chrome_chooser.py to ~/.config/ranger/plugins/chrome_chooser.py
3. Optionally map appropriately
4. Run chrome with XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE

kdialog

#!/bin/sh

for ((i=1;i<=$#;i++));
do

    if [ ${!i} = "--getsavefilename" ]
    then ((i++))
	    filename=${!i};
    fi
    
    if [ ${!i} = "--version" ] 
    then
            echo "someversion" 
            exit 
    fi

done;

path=$( echo ${filename%/*} )
file=$( echo ${filename##/*/} )

rm /tmp/ranger-chrome-choosed
termite -e "ranger" -t file-chooser-ranger
selected=$(cat /tmp/ranger-chrome-choosed 2> /dev/null)
if [ ! $? = 0 ]
then
	exit 1
fi

if [ -d $selected ]
then
	echo "$selected$file"
else
	echo $selected
fi

map dh chrome_choose .
map dn console chrome_choose 

Could you do something with another file selector? How are the selections transmitted between Chrome and ranger?

Hey, the code doesn't work if the filename contains spaces.
It works when all the args in chrome-chooser.py are taken. [as spaces are args delimiter i guess]

I just forked the gist and applied the changes, you can edit it accordingly.
Thanks

How do I open with Chromium?
