Are there any plans to develop a TDE XDG desktop portal interface?

Hello,
There is already a prototype which supports file dialogs:
https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/blu.256/xdg-desktop-portals-tde
There are a few issues that I know of and it might have broken by the changes in the
latest xdg-desktop-portal version but I plan to look into it soon.

Ah, good news.
I use the KDE portal and having KDE file picker dialogs is so comforting
to avoid the nightmare of GTK file pickers.
I think the original KDE 3 (and now TDE) file picker is a tad more
usable than the current KDE file picker, but GTK file pickers are
grounds for torches and pitch forks. :)
Thanks.

(e.g. Konqueror - File Manager - Super User Mode) already have it set.

By file picker I am referring to the dialog that launches inside
software when the user selects the File->Open or File->Save menu options.
Originally the XDG Desktop Portal was designed to accommodate sandboxed
environments such as flatpak. The idea grew such that when using a
preferred DE but an app is based on a different tool set, the native DE
file picker can be used. For example, in KDE I can use a GTK tool such
as Firefox, but the KDE file picker appears instead of the GTK file picker.
TDE does not yet have this support but most of the other DEs do. I think
even LXQt has support.
Much like Yosemite Same hates that rabbit, I hate the GTK file picker.

I have to agree with you. I only interact with it via Firefox, but it's so
non-intuitive.
