Description David Eriksson 2009-09-18 23:40:17 UTC

Version:           okänt (using 4.2.3 (KDE 4.2.3), MinGW 3.4.5)
Compiler:          gcc.exe
OS:                Microsoft Windows (i686) release 5.1 (XP Professional)

When a filedialog:/// url used as startDir for a KFileDialog::getExistingDirectory a KDE-dialog is shown and not a native Windows-dialog.
This makes it hard to select a directory on a different drive since the KDE-dialog uses a Unix-like file structure with a single root, in this case the root on the startDir-drive.
A Windows-dialog should be used even for a filedialog:/// url.

confirmed - though a native dialog is not the solution here, rather the folder dialog should be fixed.
for more information: this bug is a follow-up to Bug 204480 (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=204480)

SVN commit 1026019 by sengels:

use a workaround so that a change of drive is noticed
This doesn't change the tree to include the drives themselves, but makes changing the drive via the combobox possible at least.

fixes went to both trunk and the 4.3 branch, so in the next release they will be contained.
