Description André Marcelo Alvarenga 2016-05-29 17:09:52 UTC 
See screenshot.

Compare this dialog with Kate Save As dialog.
With the current dialog I don't have access to my Places.

Reproducible: Always




KDE Applications 16.04.1

This is intentional. I'm waiting on KFileDialog to fix some bugs (#357863 and #357865) - otherwise the file dialog does not warn on overwriting, and does not properly respect mimetype filters.

As soon as these bugs are fixed, I'll disable using Qt's native file dialog.
Comment 3 André Marcelo Alvarenga 2016-05-29 17:32:31 UTC 
Thanks for the explanation.
Comment 4 Nicolas F. 2016-08-13 19:51:08 UTC 
Is there a compile-time option to change this? One of the bugs has been resolved, and the other one seems to be stuck in limbo, and using the Qt file dialog which doesn't have places and for me doesn't show any icons for some reason is a bit obnoxious.
Comment 5 Boudhayan Gupta 2016-08-13 20:51:19 UTC 
No, but I can add one if you want.
Comment 6 Nicolas F. 2016-08-22 14:22:17 UTC 
Eh, you having to do the work to add a compile time option for this and me having to then maintain my own package seems not worth the effort when we could both invest that time in fixing the actual bug (which, by the way, should be marked as a blocker for this bug).
Comment 7 Nicolas F. 2016-08-22 14:40:03 UTC 
As it turns out, that other bug now has different behaviour. Instead of choosing the wrong MimeType filter, it now chooses no MimeType filter, which means that the only functionality broken with the native dialog now is that it doesn't hide everything except for image/png, which I believe to be a better behaviour anyway.

At any rate, at least on my system (which is also Arch Linux), the native dialog is more functional than the Qt dialog right now. Perhaps the native dialog should be re-enabled again?

The Qt dialog also doesn't let me save to a KIO URL (like a ftp share). This means I have to save the screenshot locally, then move it with Dolphin. Or use the awkward Kipi "export to remote storage" plugin.
