Bug ID: 490064
Summary: File chooser in directory mode does not default to
current directory, making it near-unusable on
single-click-to-open systems
Classification: Plasma

Version: 6.1.2
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

SUMMARY
When opening a directory through xdg-desktop-portal's File Chooser API, the
picker handles this quite badly.
On my system, which is single-click-to-open, I have to click the folder I want,
then I have two options:
- Go up, then the folder I want is selected, then click the OK button
- or type '.' into the filename bar and then hit OK.
Hitting OK while in a folder does not actually do anything.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have single-click-to-open
2. Try to open a folder using xdg-desktop-portal (e.g. with ashpd demo, I
originally discovered the issue using Zed)
3. Try to open the current directory
OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens
EXPECTED RESULT
Folder is selected

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I'm not sure what the right behaviour here is, since when something is selected
the selected folder would be picked. But probably this is fine, iirc Windows
does the same thing where the current folder is just what gets picked when
nothing is selected?
