Bug ID: 418135
Summary: Not all QT5/QT4 based apps show the same Pop-Up Window
when opening files.
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.14.5
Platform: Debian stable
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Reporter: xenoida...@gmail.com
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
I don't know how exactly it works but I've noticed that there are three
different window screens can appear when opening a file from a QT based app.
I'm talking about the small window that pops out when we want to open a file
from a specific program.
On most programs, we go to the File Tab on the upper Menu Bar and then click on
Open File.
There are three types of windows that will show up depending on the program
currently using.
1) Best Pop-Up Window:
This window allows us to use the Show Aside Preview, View Hidden Files, and the
Shortcut Paths are customizable within the window. If we Add An Entry on
Dolphin, it will appear on all QT-based programs using this particular window
style. Very handy.
##This window will open when using: Gwenview, KolourPaint, Kwrite, VLC, and
Krita.
2) QT5 Pop-Up Window:
This window style doesn't allow us to use Show Aside Preview, show hidden
files, and we can't change the Shortcut Paths. I don't know exactly how this
window decided to use some of my manually made directories as shortcut paths.
##This window will open when using: Kvantum, Kid3, LMMS 1.2
3) QT4 Pop-Up Window:
This window behaves exactly the same as the previous one only that this is for
QT4 based apps.
##This window will open when using: PuddleTag, LMMS 1.1
############UPDATE#############
After browsing around i found out that I can edit path entries for QT5 Pop-Up
windows by editing file QtProject.conf
/home/USER/.config/QtProject.conf
This will only work for QT5 apps but not for QT4 apps. I've looked around and I
don't see any file. I looked inside PuddleTag and nothing.
Also, this problem happens in Kubuntu 18.04 and Debian 10. On OpenSuse,
Puddletag uses what I call Best Pop-Up Window. I don't know if OpenSuse
developers fixed this issue or if this something that was never truly fixed on
Debian/Ubuntu.
