Description Frank Schaefer 2017-03-07 19:07:10 UTC 
Using KDEs native file dialog, the open/save button of QFileDialog::getOpenFileName, getSaveFileName() etc. is enabled even if no file is selected

Steps to reproduce:
e.g. QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(this, "Open", QCoreApplication::applicationDirPath());
=> dialog shows application directory with no file selected, but Open/Save button is enabled.
Comment 1 Frank Schaefer 2017-03-07 19:09:10 UTC 
Used Qt version is 5.7.1.
Comment 2 Nate Graham 2020-09-08 14:59:12 UTC 
Can you still reproduce this with Plasma 5.19?
Comment 3 Frank Schaefer 2020-09-12 12:38:49 UTC 
Yes.
Comment 4 Gabriel Barros 2023-09-27 19:31:22 UTC 
isn't this expected behaviour. The current dir is "selected" and will be returned if you press open/save.

i believe you have to pass options such as QFileDialog::AnyFile to force one file selection. I might be wrong.
Comment 5 Nate Graham 2023-09-28 19:00:05 UTC 
Well, then there's no file selected, clicking the Open button in the file chooser dialog (as opposed to the folder or file+folder chooser dialog) will do nothing when clicked.

Anyway, can confirm the issue.

This seems to be fixed with https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kio/-/commit/debd9fd15a6fae6d745fa6f3b0e5e812ac163162
