File picker not using portal #22

Description

When choosing an ISO to launch, the snap Boxes seems to not use portals to launch the file picker. This results in an older style of the file picker being used and I can't select my ISO because it's stored on a separate drive that the snap Boxes does not have permission to access.

The flatpak Boxes does not have either of these issues.
