Description usrrgt 2008-11-23 20:51:55 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.1.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Qt apps don't show KDE dialog boxes for open/save actions.
It's unconsistent desktop experience for the user.

It's possible make a solution? Like as KGtk o better?

Do you have an example of Qt apps which doesn't use the KDE open/save dialog?
Comment 2 usrrgt 2008-11-24 06:34:39 UTC 
For example: VirtualBox, Mixxx, Qtractor, SMPlayer, Opera web browser, etc...
Comment 3 George Kiagiadakis 2008-11-24 11:46:39 UTC 
This is implemented from the kde side, but in order to work the Qt app has to dlopen libkio and create a KComponentData object. A hack to achieve this would be to LD_PRELOAD a library with a static KComponentData that links to libkio.

As an example of an application where this works is Qt designer, if the kdewidgets library is installed and designer displays the kde widgets.

I guess that from the kde side that's all we can do. Imho, if you want this to work in all applications, you should ask it from Nokia/Qt software.
