KDE's own file dialogs aren't the most useful on OS X. For better integration with the rest of the OS and restore drag-and-drop functionality, they should default to "native". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. open file dialog in an application like kate, e.g. to open a file Actual Results: note how the dialog is different from OS X dialogs, how it doesn't provide easy access to different mounted volumes, the history nor the drag-and-drop facility that allows one to select a file or move to a folder by simply dropping one onto the dialog. Expected Results: it'd be nice to have the things mentioned above as missing just setting Native=true under [KFileDialog Settings] in kglobalrc leads to distorted file dialogs. The webpage given above lists a few patches that I implemented. I'm throwing in the patch to unify title and toolbars.

Created attachment 87688 [details] patch that unifies title and toolbar
NB1: not all applications appear to honour the type of dialog; for example kdenlive will use a KDE file dialog when selecting the Add Clip function. And it's distorted in that case. NB2: couldn't get the patches accepted for a Review Request because they're not git diff patches?!
TRUE -> true If reviewboard did not work, you could also send a mail to kde-core-devel with a message there. On the other hand, we would prefer if someone of the KDE-on-Mac community with a KDE git developer account would simply commit those fixes after a review within the community, because the non-Mac developers cannot really decide if those integration patches are correct.
That latter options is indeed what I just suggested/asked on the kde-mac ML ...
I have posted this as an RR now [1]. [1] https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/119243/
The RR doesn't seem to solve the issue of distorted file dialogs...
Thank you for reporting this bug in KDE software. As it has been a while since this issue was reported and confirmed, can we please ask you to see if you can reproduce the issue with a recent software version? If you can reproduce the issue, please change the status to "CONFIRMED" when replying. Thank you!
