Description Nina 2016-08-14 11:55:55 UTC
A weekly reminder I had set-up before upgrading from Ubuntu 14 to 16.04 was failing to play the audio file. This was one of the standard alerts from usr/share/sounds which I had copied to another directory. When I tried to re-create the alert the file selector wouldn't see the file. However, I now notice that the file selector can now go to the "Computer" folder rather than being stuck in my home folder. So I went to usr/share/sounds and it doesn't see any of the .ogg files.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. set up an event
2. Select the reminder tab
3. Select the New option to add a reminder action
4. Select "Play sound file"
5. Go to any folder with .ogg files such as usr/share/sounds

Actual Results:  
It sees folders in the directory but not any .ogg files

Expected Results:  
It should see the list of files and allow them to be selected

Months since report yet not action!
This worked until I updated Ubuntu.

It works fine here.
I think it's a problem with gnome dialogbox which is used when we use gnome environment.

could you verify with new version if it works for you ?
Comment 3 Nina 2017-07-07 12:11:34 UTC
I still have the same problem. 
KOganizer version is 
KDE Frameworks 5.18.0
Qt 5.5.1 (built against 5.5.1)
The xcb windowing system

Ubuntu version is 16.04
Comment 4 Nina 2017-07-07 12:17:28 UTC
I should point out that I am using this on a standard Ubuntu system. I haven't added a different destop which is what Gnome appears to be, unless what I have is just a different looking version of Gnome.
Comment 5 Laurent Montel 2017-07-07 12:28:45 UTC
It's a very old version.
And perhaps it's fixed in last version.
Here it works fine.
Not idea as I never used gnome.

Updating this as I have now updated the operating system Ubuntu 18 and re-installed KDEorganizer.
The problem still exists with .ogg files, it just doesn't seem them even with the options in the bottom right corner set to display ogg files. But I now have a selection of .wav files which I can use.

Does this bug still affect you?
When I use KOrganizer version 5.20.1 (22.04.1), the KDE Desktop's
normal file browser shows .ogg files (see attachment).
Are you using the Gnome desktop's file browser?
