Version: (using KDE KDE 3.2.1) Installed from: Compiled From Sources OS: Linux When I save a file from any application, I can choose to use a 'filter'. I think the term 'filter' is a bit strange for choosing a file format. Would the term 'format' not be more clear to the user?
Too bad I have not found this bug before message freeze. :-( However I am not sure about "format" either, as I suppose that pattern list get the same label too (probably also "All files"). (Unconfirming the wish, as it cannot be implemented anymore for KDE 3.5.) Have a nice day!

Sounds good to me.
Moving from "kio/kfile" component to "kfile" product, helps sorting out duplicates.
"Filter" is the correct word, you can enter any string in the label (not necessarily a file type) and the view will be filtered accordingly.
It's the correct term when there's a filter field. But in save dialogs which define a list of supported mimetypes that the file can be saved as, the text field disappears and becomes a combobox with file type options. In this case, "File format" or "File type" would be the correct string.

Git commit f0668888660ffcbe578884c5e80cef53b16be50d by Nate Graham. Committed on 06/05/2019 at 16:15. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. [FileWidget] Replace "Filter:" with "File type:" when saving with a limited list of mimetypes Summary: The Filter combobox currently always has the label "Filter:" This is appropriate in most cases, but becomes inaccurate when saving with a limited list of mimetypes. In this case, the combobox loses its text field and becomes a file type chooser rather than a filter. This patch changes the label to "File type:" for that use case.
