Version: (using Devel) OS: Linux Installed from: Compiled sources It would be nice if the filesystem tab would have a quickfilter bar with filter-as-you-type capability, just like KDevelop3 had.
re-assigning to kdirlister as it IMHO makes sense to have it in the general component.
hmm, why is kfile not in kdelibs. Moving to the right component.
"filesystem tab" .. where? Thanks
The bug was originally reported against KDevelop, which has a filesystem tab in the sidebar.
ah, sorry for not updating the description. This is related to KDirOperator, which KDevelop uses to display a filesystem browser.
True, it's implemented e.g. in the kate app filebrowser plugin (kdesdk/kate/plugins/filesystembrowser). KDirOperator itself supports filtering, so this wish is just about making it visible in the gui.

as stated in the new duplicate, this functionality in kfiledialog would be useful too.
Can you please clarify if this is about the file dialog (bug 142900) or a stand-alone KDirOperator? If the latter, I do not see how/where one would add a filter.
