Cannot open Google Drive Pictures

[Nico]

I am using the gnome google drive integration, but I cannot open pictures laying in that path. I guess this is an issue with the pathname or type. See the screenshot.

Version 2.0.1 (not 2.0.2 if that is important)

I'll try to set up a test environment for this. One thing to try would be whether it works with a .ora format image, which goes through a different code path

It happens with ora as well

I've reproduced this in a test VM - I think the issue is that the path Pinta gets just has a bunch of random characters and doesn't have an extension, so it's related to bug 1679570
Pinta should probably just fall back to trying all its importers if it can't determine an extension

A related issue is whether Pinta can somehow obtain the real filename - otherwise the label for the tab in Pinta just shows a bunch of random characters rather than "test.png"

After more reading, Pinta should probably start using the GFile interface from Gtk.FileChooser (https://docs.gtk.org/gtk3/method.FileChooser.get_files.html), and set the local-only property to false

This seems to be the approach we'd need anyways for GTK4: https://discourse.gnome.org/t/gtk4-gtkfilechooser-show-only-local-files/6363

I've done some initial work on this in https://github.com/PintaProject/Pinta/pull/215 - it's mostly working so far, but still has some bugs to be sorted out
