Version: okänt (using 4.2.3 (KDE 4.2.3), MinGW 3.4.5) Compiler: gcc.exe OS: Microsoft Windows (i686) release 5.1 (XP Professional) When a filedialog:/// url used as startDir for a KFileDialog::getExistingDirectory a KDE-dialog is shown and not a native Windows-dialog. This makes it hard to select a directory on a different drive since the KDE-dialog uses a Unix-like file structure with a single root, in this case the root on the startDir-drive. A Windows-dialog should be used even for a filedialog:/// url.
confirmed - though a native dialog is not the solution here, rather the folder dialog should be fixed. for more information: this bug is a follow-up to Bug 204480 (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=204480)
SVN commit 1026019 by sengels: use a workaround so that a change of drive is noticed This doesn't change the tree to include the drives themselves, but makes changing the drive via the combobox possible at least.
