Bug ID: 453000
Summary: You can't search for files by selecting a file in
KDialog's directory view and typing out the name
Product: kdialog
Version: unspecified
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
Occasionally, when you're downloading a file, you will need to consult another
file before saving. In Windows KDialog analogue (and in Dolphin), you can
select a file in the Directory Contents view and start typing out the name of
the file you want to view. Windows Save Dialog and Dolphin will switch active
focus to the file that matches this name. KDialog does not.
Not sure if this is bug fix or feature request.
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Browser, save a file.
2. In KDialog, go to a folder with quite a few files.
3. Select one of the files and starting type out the name of the file you want
to consult.
OBSERVED RESULT
In KDialog, nothing happens. The file you want is not selected. Active focus
does not shift to this file. You can't consult it with manually searching the
folder, which becomes difficult if it's got thousands or more files in there.
EXPECTED RESULT
It is expected that when you switch focus to Active Directory, and type the
name of the file you want, it you gets selected, scrolled to and made visually
available for you to inspect in KDialog, just as it is in Windows and Dolphin.
