Opening files in KDE, I get to use the excellent file picker, including the sftp:// and other KIO slaves.

Opening files in non-KDE apps, I cannot access sftp:// files and I have a whole different single/double click thing to deal with, the setups are all different, locations are no longer added to the left, etc.

If I open a remote sftp:// file in Dolphin that launches a non-KDE application, the non-KDE program will fail to open the file. Since the file needs to be copied locally to open it anyways, this shouldn't happen.

I would like to see KDE somehow become the file open / file save dialog for all apps when running on KDE, not just for KDE apps. This would improve consistency of behaviour and appearance.

It's not really under KDE's jurisdiction what file picker is used I think.

Plus, the GTK-Oxygen project is really starting to make them look similar - although it certainly doesn't solve those functionality issues you talked about unfortunately.
