Description Antony Lee 2015-05-25 18:59:07 UTC

Qt4's QFileDialog staticmethods (getOpenFileName, etc.) use the system file dialogs by default (KFileDialog).  Unfortunately, KFileDialog does not respect the "selectedFilter" parameter.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run: python3 -c 'from PyQt4.Qt import QApplication, QFileDialog; app = QApplication([]); QFileDialog.getOpenFileNameAndFilter(filter="Source (*.py);;Text (*.txt)", initialFilter="Text (*.txt)")'

Actual Results:  
A file dialog appears with "Source" as default filter.

Expected Results:  
A file dialog appears with "Text" as default filter.

Running Arch Linux standard packages.

Does this reproduce using the KDE Frameworks 5 version?

Comment 2 Antony Lee 2018-04-09 22:16:13 UTC

The issue indeed appears to be fixed as of now.
