The save-file dialogs in Cardinal requires a working [xdg-desktop-portal](https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal) DBus implementation from your desktop environment.
Typically your desktop already provides this, if not consider looking for a package to install with "desktop-portal" in the name.
If you are running a window manager without a "real" desktop environment (like custom X11 or i3 setups),
you will need to manually activate the systemd unit that provides these DBus services, like so:
The open-file dialogs in Cardinal do not have this restriction, with a fallback in case desktop portal is not available.
```
systemctl enable xdg-desktop-portal --user --now
```
Note: The open-file dialogs in Cardinal do not have this restriction, with a fallback in case the desktop portal is not available.
