Version: (using KDE 4.1.1) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages Steps to reproduce: 1) Open File Chooser (save dialog) and select Show Hidden Files 2) Close and reopen 3) Deselect Show Hidden Files mark Results: The hidden files are still shown until the user changes directory.
Moved to "kfile" (I hope it is the right product) :-)
Here using: Qt: 4.4.3 + qt-copy-patches-889120 KDE: 4.1.86 (KDE 4.1.86 (KDE 4.2 >= 20081221)) kdelibs svn rev. 903705 / kdebase svn rev. 903706 on ArchLinux x86_64 - Kernel 2.6.27.10 I can't reproduce because the "Hidden Files" setting isn't maitained after you close the dialog, so I can't get to step 3. (BTW the file dialogs were heavyly reworked for KDE4.2)
I confirm that the bug is no more reproducible becase the setting is not saved when the dialog is closed. This bug is no more valid.
