--- Comment #19 from RJVB <rjvber...@gmail.com> ---
If that's in reaction to the idea of adding things to a native file dialog,
please think again. Mac and (unless I'm mistaken) MS Windows (where you have a
real native file dialog, provided by the platform through the QPA plugin)
provide native API to do this kind of thing. Those APIs allow exactly what
applications like Scribus try to achieve in Qt: showing additional controls
around the core feature of the dialog (the file selection widget with its
controls).

Under X11 and (AFAIK) Wayland there is in fact no "native dialog" (if anything
that would be Qt's...!). It is the QPT integration plugin which provides a
dialog which is deemed more appropriate for the desktop environment in use than
Qt's own file dialog.

According to your point of view KDE applications that construct their own
enhanced file dialog from a KFileWidget plus whatever they find justified would
be doing something wrong? I just cannot subscribe to that idea.
