FileDialog equivalent of FileChooser add_shortcut?

In the Gtk3 version of my app, I used Gtk.FileChooser.add_shortcut() to allow users to add their own open/save location shortcuts. These were saved per application ‘profile’ and users could have multiple profiles. This allowed them to easily find dedicated folders for the documents/media for each profile.

I can’t find the equivalent functionality in Gtk.FileDialog. It seems all I can do is set up global shortcuts via the Files app and have these visible in all the apps for the user. Have I missed something that would allow me to offer the app/profile specific shortcuts only in my app?

Cheers,
Pat

You have not missed anything: this functionality is not available when using native file dialogs, which is what GtkFileDialog uses internally.

Thanks for the quick response and for the explanation. Another of those “beyond your control” things.
