Is the ladder broken, or not?
1·8 days agoThanks! That’s a lot of info, looks useful.
When I said “XY problem”, was that a “shibboleet”?
Since it is the “tree of heaven”, that means it is native to heaven and is not invasive there.

(You could try to patch it at the KFileDialog level instead of the Librewolf level as described above, but then you’d lose filtering systemwide.)
What would the effects be?
- File type filtering disabled in “Save” dialogs (what i want)
- File type filtering disabled in “Upload” dialogs (worse, but still fine for my purposes)
- Type filtering disabled in the file explorer (not good)
- Inability to filter by any patterns in the file picker or file explorer (very bad)
- Something else?
How would I go about this? Would I need to alter the source code and recompile? What would happen when I update the software?
Purpose, misconceptions, and XY-problem-protection that I already typed elsewhere
What I want is to set the default filter to “All Files” for every application that uses the file picker. I don’t want to do it per application. If there’s a setting for the file picker itself, I want to use that.
It’s not just the save dialog, I mentioned the file selection dialog (for uploading) in the post. The Librewolf “save page as” is just one singular example, not the entire problem!
“Saving HTML files with their file extension” can still be accomplished if I can see all the files at once. I’m not changing the extension, I just want to see where I’m putting them. There is no reason why viewing all files would prevent me from saving the same file types together.

I want to do that by default.

I don’t want to do that every time, for every program! There must be a KDE/Plasma-level setting for this, since it’s the KDE Plasma file picker.
2·13 days agoThat doesn’t really get the idea across. The files are stored on the internet, so how about SkyNet?
Why does it say “Sun” if it runs on Saturday?

You ain’t opening no in-game command console on the PS3/PS4.
You are if you’re playing Half-Life 2, Portal, or TF2 on the PS3 (or Xbox 360)
- Ascend to BSD-land. Start with FreeBSD.
- Once that becomes mainstream, go to OpenBSD, then NetBSD, then the very-rarely-used DragonflyBSD.
- Once that becomes mainstream (probably never, but still possible theoretically) switch to OpenIndiana, the FOSS version of Solaris.
- Then you can go to something even weirder, like the obsolete IRIX, the mysterious Plan 9/9front/Inferno, or the Rusty alpha-stage Redox OS.
AROS (Amiga Research OS) or MorphOS?
Devil’s Drones
PS3/PS4 run a modified FreeBSD for the OS, and the Steam Deck is literally a Linux PC. Plus you can open an in-game command console.
Or a Brachiosaurus
