Description Bill Dietrich 2020-06-18 10:37:43 UTC 
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open an image in a tab
2. Right-click on the image and do Save Image As
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT

Get a KDE-style Save dialog, instead of (in my configuration) an Ubuntu GNOME save dialog.  The UIs are fairly different, I would like them to be consistent.

EXPECTED RESULT

Present a DE-specific Save dialog.


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
macOS: 
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 
KDE Frameworks Version: 
Qt Version: 
Ubuntu GNOME 20.04

https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qfiledialog.html#Option-enum

> By default, the native file dialog is used unless you use a subclass of QFileDialog that contains the Q_OBJECT macro, or the platform does not have a native dialog of the type that you require.

Although I don't currently have access to a Linux machine with gnome DE to test which dialogs if all are not native. A quick grep for QFileDialog shows quite a few instances of QFileDialog in Falkon's src.

https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qfiledialog.html#details

> By default, a platform-native file dialog will be used if the platform has one.

> Note: This option must be set before changing dialog properties or showing the dialog.

The documentation I linked is for Qt 5.15 and the reporter has not mentioned the Qt version (which would help.)

On Windows, the native Windows file dialog opens when I select the 'Open File' option from the application menu. This is the expected behaviour here I believe.

I don't know how to get the Qt version.  Most of my packages with "qt" in the name have "5.12.8-0ubuntu1" in the name, but some have "5.68.0-0ubuntu1", some show other numbers.

Menu -> Help -> About Qt.
Or
Type 'falkon:config' into the address bar and press enter.

It looks like you have Qt version 5.12.8 from your comment. Which is pretty old.

Could do with some one to verify that the bug does not happen with newer versions of Qt on Linux. I wouldn't be surprised if the file dialog thing is a bug in Qt 5.12.

"This program uses Qt version 5.12.8."
