Summary: When using 'Save As', pasting the address into the 'filename' (to navigate to the folder) will overwrites the filename. Krita should remember the filename.

Description jimbo 2019-08-05 15:20:08 UTC 
SUMMARY
This is very specific but recently I went back to Photoshop and realized it had this functionality. The 'Save As' dialog in Windows can be pretty annoying because you have to click through in order to navigate to a folder, however if you copy/paste the folder address into 'filename' it will take you there.

The problem is that Krita does not re-enter the filename once you have navigated to the folder, whereas Photoshop does.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Copy a folder location in Windows
2. Use Save As in Krita (note the original filename)
3. Paste the location in filename and hit Enter

OBSERVED RESULT
User is taken to the folder, but the filename has been replaced by the location address

EXPECTED RESULT
User is taken to the folder, and the location address has been replaced by the original filename

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 7 Professional 64bit

Sorry, but we don't implement the file dialogs itself; there is either the Qt fallback dialog or the Windows one, and you can switch between the two in Krita's settings. But we cannot change the behaviour of the file dialog.

Ahm thanks! Enabling the native file dialog solved this issue for me. For others reading this (for Krita 4.2.3):

Settings -> Configure Krita

General -> Miscellaneous Tab: Enable native file dialogs
