Bug ID: 464400
Summary: Allow using ~ (tilde) in Select Directory dialog
Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
Product: frameworks-kio
Version: 5.101.0
Platform: OpenSUSE
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Open/save dialogs
Assignee: kio-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: groszdaniel...@gmail.com
CC: kdelibs-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
In the Select Directory, please allow using ~ to refer to the home directory in
the path input field at the bottom. File dialogs (the ones for selecting a
file, rather than a folder) support this; they also support using ~user to
refer to that user's home directory.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a Select Directory dialog, e.g. kdialog --getexistingdirectory
2. Enter ~ (or a path starting with ~) in the path input at the bottom.
3. Click OK.
OBSERVED RESULT
The selected folder in the tree view doesn't change. If you click OK, the
dialog returns the folder previously selected in the tree view.
EXPECTED RESULT
The tree view jumps to the entered folder, just like when you enter a path
starting with /. If you click OK, it returns the entered folder.
