14977 brought us full circle, except without the hideous stylesheet[1]. I had set the option to use native file dialogs, experimentally, because Qt file dialogs in a KDE5 environment are seriously broken. No icons of any kind, no way to distinguish files from folders. They are similarly broken again, just not awash in black.
I feel like going with native dialogs was probably a step in the right direction. The native KDE dialogs were better in every way than the Qt dialogs, which were never that good on their best day. However, we do need some other way to provide functionality similar to the sidebar. Upon further experimentation, I discovered I could add those paths to my KDE file dialog manually. Those extra paths only appear from Rosegarden. It must be some bit of configuration in some dotfile somewhere. How do you feel about having Rosegarden just write that configuration quietly, to establish these extra sidebar directories for KDE users? If that would bother you, how do you feel about "Rosegarden would like permission to add useful directories to your file dialog sidebar?" as a runtime question? Do you have an even better idea? I definitely want to work this one out before doing the long overdue release. We're getting there, but it hasn't finished cooking yet. 1. I still can't believe the stylesheet monster is gone, and your new implementation got as close as it did to working on the first go. It needs delicate tweaking here and there, and I'm more than willing to go deal with that trivia and not trouble you with it. I need to go study what you did in any case, because I'm sure it will be highly instructive.
