Open, save buttons on bottom of the dialog?

[phoebus]

Hi all,

I'm using Gimp 3 RC2 on KDE Plasma.
All my programs (including Tb, FF which are not QT) have Save, Open, Cancel buttons at the bottom of the file dialog.

But gimp has them on top, which is super nonintuitive for me.

I know this is GTK and not Gimp thing.
I tried setting

Code:

gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings overrides "{'Gtk/DialogsUseHeader':<0>}"

but it didn't work:

Code:

No such schema “org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings”

Does anyone have an idea how to move the buttons to the bottom of the dialogs?

Long time KDE user and I have never seen that before. Using kubuntu 24.04 and Gimp 2.10 / 3.0 appimage.
I had a quick look in system settings -> window management -> window rules and nothing here that looks like it moves those buttons. If you have any for Gimp can you dump all and see if it resets ?  I have 2 one for each Gimp, size/position/shade/on-top....etc

Nah, I don't have any window rules.
Here's how it looks, "new image" dialog has buttons on top, too.

I have the buttons at the bottom: I think it is caused by a combination of GTK theme (Mint y Dark Orange) and Window Manager (JWM), which include the buttons at the bottom.

Same as Rich. What KDE theme are you using?

Mine are at the bottom, too.
Linux Mint 20 MATE, default theme

I have the same issue with the buttons on top.
gimp 3.0.2-r1 on gentoo linux running on wayland with KDE.
I tried everything I found online (which is not much).
I placed gtk-dialogs-use-header=0 or gtk-dialogs-use-header=false in all gtk config files where there things set. Added it to the xsettingsd config.
GTK_USE_PORTALS is also ignored in gimp, but works in firefox/librewolf. But this would not fix the internal dialogs, just file pickers anyway.
Nothing worked.
It only happens on wayland, on x11 it's still fine and buttons are in bottom.
Is this a bug and worth reporting or just a design decision that I realllllllly dislike?
This might be a reason for me to avoid wayland and stick to x11 (besides other issues not related to gimp, but this GTK/GIMP think is a major one)
Can I install some theme or whatever to make it show on the bottom, this is extremely annoying and who ever thought this would be a great idea should take a few UX lessons.
The "Post reply" button to submit this is on the bottom, not at the start of the page as well... for good reasons.
