Bug ID: 526562
Summary: Include filename suffix matches in the Name field’s
completion suggestions
Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
Product: frameworks-kio
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Open/save dialogs

Target Milestone: ---
In the KDE file open dialog, the Name field offers suggestions based on the
beginning of a filename. For example, typing debian lets you select debian.iso
from the dropdown list. However, typing the suffix .iso does not suggest that
file. Personally, I find this behavior very inconvenient. I know that filters
are available, but I think this small enhancement would also be useful and
convenient.
I propose extending filename completion as follows:
1. Show prefix matches first, as it does now.
2. Then append files whose names end with the entered text.
3. Avoid duplicates when a file matches both conditions.
I can implement this myself, but I would like to discuss the approach first. As
I understand it, this would involve adding a new function to KCompletion or
KUrlCompletion and then using it in the file dialog.
