Please provide SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: Linux Debian 11 on aarch64 -- the version I built with kdesrc-build -- dragon 22.11.70 KDE Frameworks Version 5.98.0 Qt Version 5.15.2 (built against 5.15.2) -- this version was coming from debian repo -- dragon 20.12.0 KDE Frameworks 5.78.0 Qt 5.15.2 (built against 5.15.2) Both are demonstrating the same (mis-)behavior Dear Bug Submitter, This bug has been in NEEDSINFO status with no change for at least 15 days. Please provide the requested information as soon as possible and set the bug status as REPORTED. Due to regular bug tracker maintenance, if the bug is still in NEEDSINFO status with no change in 30 days the bug will be closed as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME due to lack of needed information. For more information about our bug triaging procedures please read the wiki located here: https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Bug_triaging If you have already provided the requested information, please mark the bug as REPORTED so that the KDE team knows that the bug is ready to be confirmed. Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone! Does this also happen with a new user? (In reply to Harald Sitter from comment #4) > Does this also happen with a new user? I'll check that Hm, for the brand new user dragon player settings are all fine - by default the "Filter" input is empty allowing me to see all file types. Where is that setting/behavior is defined? Sorry, forgot to mention, in a meantime I have switched from Debian 11 Stable to Debian 11 Testing. I can see now, that whatever that initial issue was, it's now gone for my original user as well. But I think it will be very precious for everyone else, who might be dealing with the same strange behavior to know if it can be affected by some setting in config file Alas, I do not know where it would be stored. Chances are either dragonplayerrc or kdeglobalsrc. A grep on .config with the relevant extension will likely yield the relevant config. Well I was jumping to a conclusion all too fast. I did some experiments and can see the issue as I described it is reproduced in windows managers like dwm and not in KDE. I will dig it bit more I can reproduce this bug steadily in dwm. The only config file for dragonplayer I found is ~/.config/dragonplayerrc doesn't define what file types are shown in what order in the open dialog. See screenshot Created attachment 152857 [details]

Can you reproduce this on Plasma, GNOME or XFCE? Nevermind Git commit 87a127e33a4210d47fad12af7a3080e36ab99094 by Harald Sitter. Committed on 16/10/2022 at 18:47. Pushed by sitter into branch 'master'. make sure the native qt dialog shows octet-stream as mime option otherwise it'd refuse to accept our default value and just pick the first value in the list M +4 -1 src/app/mainWindow.cpp https://invent.kde.org/multimedia/dragon/commit/87a127e33a4210d47fad12af7a3080e36ab99094 Thanks a lot Harald |
