Bug ID: 459326 Summary: UX bug - "play file" dialog uses inonvenient default for "Files of type" input Classification: Unclassified Product: dragonplayer Version: 22.08.1 Platform: unspecified OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: unassigned-b...@kde.org Reporter: khaluk...@gmail.com CC: myr...@kde.org, sit...@kde.org Target Milestone: --- If you ever attempted to open a media file with using "Play file" button in Dragon player, it opens up a file picking dialog, with the value for "Files of type" input control filled with (just assuming) whatever first supported file format your player has been compiled with. For me it's "MXF video (*.mxf)". This makes it hard for users to use this dialog at all, because they need to know it in advance what kind of file they're about to open and set that filter first. Wast majority of regular users don't have an idea about these kind of technical detals, like video file format differences, all they want is to playback a file - either audio or video. What it should be instead - a very first item in that "Files of type" control should be something like "All supported media formats", which should be a superposition of all file extensions this particular instance of Dragon player could handle. E.g. *.avi, *.mp4, *.mpg ... If some advanced user still wants to change this dialog to see only files of specific format, he would be able to do that, bu changing that default "All supported media format" option to something of his choice. Also, the list of possible file types should be displayed as sorted one, currently it's unsorted and it makes this kind of selection difficult. The behavior is observed whike using dragon player compiled out of the latest sources with kdesrc-build, so I set the affected version to the most recent stable release. The same behavior was existing for the version 20.12.0, the one I have in Debian 11 Stable -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
