Description Gert De Roost 2018-08-21 08:27:47 UTC
The --getopenfilename option followed by a colon and label name does not work as expected.  Two times a pop up window appears saying "The file or folder does not exist" and it seems it just looks for the ":labelname" as a filename...
It should work differently according to:

I'm on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed / KDE Plasma 5.13.4

Probably got lost in the port to QDialog. David?

Confirmed still an issue with kdialog 20.08.3
