What do you mean by "the new file dialog"? Can you attach a screenshot of what it looks like? I wonder if you're actually using the GNOME dialog due to a system misconfiguration, packaging problem, or app update. Probably in the latest Opensuse update, there was a misconfiguration or wrong packaging which causes Firefox and Brave to use Gnome File Dialogs instead of KDE Dialogs. So this is not related to frameworks-kio. Ticket is closed Created attachment 181392 [details] screenshot new File Dialog Hello Graham, Thanks for your support :-) In "attachment 1 [details]" you can find a screenshot of the File Dialog I'm getting when I save a file from Firefox since the latest update on my Opensuse desktop computer, (which included the KDE Frameworks 6.14.0). And indeed when I look on Google Images for "Gnome File Dialog, I get similar images (see attachment 2 [details]), so this is the Gnome File Dialog. I also get this dialog with the Brave browser, but ... with the Falkon browser I correct;y get the KDE File Dialog (to be expected since Falkon is from KDE). So maybe - as you wrote - there was a problem with the latest Opensuse packaging, I'll wait for the next update, and eventually report the problem to Opensuse. I was mislead by the article https://9to5linux.com/kde-frameworks-6-14-revamps-new-files-dialog-expands-krunner-unit-conversion[1], which talks about a revamped File Dialog in KDE Frameworks 6.14, so I assumed that that was what I experienced. I closed both tickets 504339[2] and 504342[3] with a comment and "not a bug". kind regards, Bart De Ceulaer On vrijdag 16 mei 2025 18:01:14 Midden-Europese zomertijd you wrote: > https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=504342 > > Nate Graham <nate@kde.org> changed: > > What |Removed |Added > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > CC| |nate@kde.org > Resolution|--- |WAITINGFORINFO > See Also| |https://bugs.kde.org/show_b > | |ug.cgi?id=504339 > > Status|REPORTED |NEEDSINFO > > --- Comment #1 from Nate Graham <nate@kde.org> --- > What do you mean by "the new file dialog"?

Yep, that's the GNOME dialog indeed. Something seems to have caused Firefox to either use the GNOME desktop portal, or not use a desktop portal at all for its file dialogs, therefore falling back to the GNOME one that it used by default. Definitely something to bring up with the openSUSE packagers. |
