Description JOnN 2022-10-05 09:16:51 UTC

When exporting files, the view has only a list, unlike a regular explorer, it is very inconvenient when you need to select an image, especially if there are several images with long or similar names, maybe you should add the ability to change the view of a folder with contents?

When exporting files from where? Can you post a screenshot?

Comment 2 JOnN 2022-10-05 10:36:18 UTC

from explorer to browser

That's Firefox, which is a GTK application, so it uses the GTK file picker. This has nothing to do with KDE. Search for GTK_USE_PORTAL to find out how to force it to use the KDE file dialog.

I have exactly the same with each browser vivaldi, chromium, I need to look for a separate reason for each one ?!

None of those is a KDE project, why are you reporting this in the KDE bug tracker?

Comment 7 Nate Graham 2022-10-09 20:03:06 UTC

It's up to each app what file picker to use, or whether to implement the portal dialog API which causes it to show the KDE dialog. So yes, this will require changes or configuration for each of those browsers.
