Bug ID: 376671
Summary: Folder select dialog doesn't show start folder
Product: kfile
Version: unspecified
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kdelibs-b...@kde.org
Reporter: picotmath...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
When a program calls a file picker with the ShowDirsOnly option, if the
startdir is at least the third starting from root (for example:
/home/user/xxx), this startdir is well selected, but user can't see it directly
in dialog, he has to drop down to this folder.
An easy way to see this is to use kdialog (>=5).
just type:
kdialog --getexistingdirectory /home/$USER/Documents
Note that it's not a bug from kdialog because this affects all program calling
kde file pickers, I tried it with python3-qt5 and didn't find any workaround.
but if startdir is /home/user or usr/share or anything else far from 2 folders
from the root, it's well.
I show that on neon, and on kubuntu 16.04 with kubuntu backports (not with
kdialog on kubuntu because kdialog here uses Qt4).
