Instead of the KDE file chooser... is that possible?

Ok i have these settings on my kdeglobals file:

Code: Select all

[KFileDialog Settings]
Native=true


But as you can see, the file dialog chooser is corrupted. How can i use the native qt file chooser that at the same time uses the native Mac OS X file chooser?

Kind of Solved...
I had to mess up with some kdelibs4 libraries

Please expand on this. Not for me, but for people from the future that have the same problem.

Sure!. I just added mac os x support for the native dialog definition in these files..

And if you want to add an unified title and tool bar for your kde apps, do something like this.

kdelibs-4.7.3/kdeui/widgets/kmainwindow.cpp

Code: Select all

<    q->setUnifiedTitleAndToolBarOnMac(TRUE);

Important. You need to apply the macports patch for the kdeinit issue.
https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/kde/kdelibs4/files/workaround-kdeinit4-crash.patch
Some apps might not work right without it

Those patches are still valid in 4.12.5 - but note that they have the changed and not the original version on top.

I do notice that some applications, like kdenlive, still use KDE's file dialog for certain functions ... and they tend to be distorted as shown above.
