Description Simone Lazzaris 2015-03-23 08:40:32 UTC

I'm using kde frameworks 5.8.0 with kde 4.13 on archlinux. The file chooser from kde5 application (e.g., kate) doesn't allow the manual entering of remote URL.
The text input field that allows to enter the location is gone, replaced by a drop-down with fixed entries.

I can only choose local files. This is a HUGE showstopper for me: the main reason to use KDE is (was) the network-transparency of all application, using kioslaves.

Reproducible: Always

Have you installed the frameworksintegration-plugin? It is needed to convert Qt file dialogs to KDE file dialogs. If unsure, please show a screen shot of the dialog.

Comment 3 Simone Lazzaris 2015-03-23 10:45:31 UTC

Thanks for the fast feedback.
About the plugin.... I'm not really sure. I don't see a "frameworksintegration" package available in the archlinux repository.
I've attached a screenshot as requested.

Comment 4 Christoph Feck 2015-03-23 11:26:14 UTC

This is indeed the Qt dialog. I would suggest to ask in a forum of your distribution how to install the frameworkintegration package.

Comment 5 Simone Lazzaris 2015-03-24 08:55:31 UTC

I've found the package and installed it. That fixed the problem.
Thanks for the support.

Can this bug be reopened?  I'm encountering the exact same problem in gentoo and I've tried to enter a path with frameworkintegration-5.23 or frameworkintegration-5.24 installed and both do not give me the option of entering the filepath with text input.

Comment 7 Christoph Feck 2016-08-02 14:44:32 UTC

Please show a screenshot of the file dialog.

Comment 9 Christoph Feck 2016-08-02 15:21:37 UTC

This is the Qt dialog, not the KDE dialog. Please ask in a forum of your distribution which packages you need to install.

Comment 10 Matthew Schultz 2016-08-02 15:23:01 UTC

The previous solution to this ticket was to install frameworkintegration which I already have installed.  What package/library overrides the default Qt dialog and gives me a kde dialog?

Comment 11 Matthew Schultz 2016-08-02 16:02:56 UTC

After some searching for the right package,  it appears the plasma-integration (https://github.com/KDE/plasma-integration) package and not the frameworkintegration package is the package that overrides Qt file dialogs with KDE ones.
