Bug ID: 526523
Summary: KFileWidget restores saved sort direction inverted on
next open
Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
Product: frameworks-kio
Version First 6.24.0
Reported In:
Platform: Kubuntu
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Open/save dialogs
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
The KDE file dialog correctly saves the selected sort column and sort direction
to `~/.config/kdeglobals`, but when the dialog is opened again, the sort
direction is restored as the opposite of what was selected. This reproduces
directly with `kdialog`,
Environment:
Kubuntu 26.04 LTS
KDE Plasma Version: 6.6.6
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.24.0
Qt Version: 6.10.2
Kernel Version: 7.0.0-34-generic (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland
KIO file widgets package: `libkf6kiofilewidgets6 6.24.0-0ubuntu1`
xdg-desktop-portal-kde: `6.6.6-0ubuntu0.1`
Steps to reproduce:
1. Run:
`kdialog --getopenfilename "$HOME"`
2. Switch to Details view if necessary.
3. Sort by Date.
4. Set the order to newest first.
5. Close the dialog.
6. Open the same dialog again:
`kdialog --getopenfilename "$HOME"`
Actual result:
The dialog opens sorted by Date, but with the opposite direction: oldest first.
The inverse also happens:
- If I select oldest first and close the dialog,
- the next time it opens it is newest first.
Expected result:
The file dialog should reopen using the same sort direction that was selected
when it was last closed.
Additional information:
The preference is being written to `~/.config/kdeglobals`.
Relevant section:
```
[KFileDialog Settings]
Sort by=Date
Sort reversed=true
View Style=Detail
```
Despite `Sort reversed=true` being persisted, reopening the dialog shows the
opposite sort direction.
The same behavior is visible from browser file-upload dialogs using the KDE XDG
Desktop Portal file chooser, but because it also reproduces directly with
`kdialog`, the problem appears to be in KIO/KFileWidget state restoration
rather than the browser or portal itself.
