SUMMARY When I open "Configure Kate" and browse for "Directory for index files", I get a file browser instead of a folder browser. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open menu Settings/Configure Kate... 2. Under the tree, click Application/Projects. 3. Under the Project Index group box, under "Directory for index files", click the folder icon to the right of the text field. OBSERVED RESULT I get a file browser with an empty name and filter list. I cannot select a directory for index files. EXPECTED RESULT I get a folder browser which lets me pick a directory for index files. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Manjaro Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.64.0 Qt Version: 5.13.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Cannot reproduce, it shows the directory selector here. Are you running a non-Plasma desktop?
Sorry, I was in the wrong plugin. It is about the "Projects" plugin.
I've just tried to reproduce this in kate from git master. I went into configuration, projects, and enabled Enable indexing. When attempting to browse for a directory I also get a file chooser. Confirmed on KDE Neon User Edition.
