Use KDE file dialogs

Stefan Markusen 11 years ago updated by Francesco Magazzu' 7 years ago 1

The one element that would improve the user experience on KDE the most is the usage of the native file open/save dialogs.

This is not only about the look, but also about functionality, e.g. favorite folders.


Implementation is straightforward by using the `kdialog` CLI utility.

One project that does this already is Chromium, using the xdg-utils.
