STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Launch Kate 2. Ctrl+O to open 3. In the dialog, navigate to /etc, or any similar location containing many sub-folders 4. Open any file in there 5. Ctrl+O to open again OBSERVED RESULT The view contents load asynchronously, which is good for responsiveness, but looks messy. EXPECTED RESULT Multiple options here: - Display a loading placeholder until the view has finished loading - Be smarter about what gets shown first, so the stuff that still needs to load will be out of the view - Be faster so the asynchronous loading doesn't look so jumpy SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Fedora Linux 42 KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.18.0 Qt Version: 6.9.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Seems to get worse the more sub-folders are in the view when it loads.
Git commit 67365a7dde84c746d78348544f304a68dc03980e by Oliver Beard. Committed on 08/08/2025 at 20:38. Pushed by olib into branch 'master'. KFileFilterCombo: Fix initial delay in applying filter in KFileWidget KFileWidget has a delay in applying the filter through editTextChanged, but filterChanged is instant. When setFilters is called on a KFileFilterCombo, we should emit filterChanged as we setCurrentIndex(), but we don't, causing it to go through the delayed editTextChanged path. As a result of the issue, when a file dialog (e.g. 'Save As' in Gwenview) is opened, the results are shown unfiltered until 300ms elapses and the filter is applied. This commit ensures the filter is applied immediately by emitting the right signal.
