Description:

This is a dirty hack for Mozilla that makes it use the standard KDE dialogs to open/save files. It relies on "kdialog", which is part of "kdebase". It should work for Mozilla, Firefox and Thunderbird.

WARNING: This is a cutting-edge very early alpha version. It should work but it might not. Right now it has one important bug: Mozilla freezes while the open/save dialog is opened, and it recovers when the dialog finishes. This is due to Mozilla internally uses the system() call to run kdialog. Anyway, I'm working on this to improve it and make it work correctly. Take this as a preview and DON'T use it in a production environment.



-------------------------------
HOW TO INSTALL
-------------------------------

Download the file and uncompress it. You'll see a file called "nsFilePicker.js". Go to the directory where you installed Mozilla, Firefox or Thunderbird. Inside it there's a directory called "components". You have to replace the file "nsFilePicker.js" with the one you've downloaded. You should rename the old file so if you experience problems with this hack or you don't like it you can restore the old version.

Note: this will only work on UNIX-like/BSD systems that can run KDE. If you're using Windows or Mac OS X, this is not for you.

 THANK YOU

 
 by cypherpunk on: Jun 3 2006

THANK YOU VERY,VERY MUCH!!

I don't like this gnome-thing. It's ugly and uncomfortable.

Just one example: creating a new folder before saving a new file and the filename disappears. So you have to close the dialog, open it and navigate once more to the newly created folder. This was really nasty, but since your hack I can use the KDE-dialog again which I appreciate much more.

(Sorry for my bad english).

Again: Thank you! :-)

maybe the gnome-dialog isn't so ugly, but it's still uncomfortable ;-)

 Great, but...

First of all thanks for this. It's not 100%, but it is a better "hack" than adding "FILEPICKER_CONTRACTID" to the file because this method uses the native kdialog. However, I was very disappointed, when I clicked on the options dropdown, that "Show Preview (F11)" was grayed out. I was very excited when I first saw this because I thought I'd finally be able to preview pics before uploading (like you can in Konqueror), but the option is grayed out. Any reason why, or how to enable it?

This is yet another brick into the wall of a Grand Unified User Interface. Not sure about the others, but when the dialog pops up, the interface to firefox freezes up until the dialog gives the input to the main program. Is this unavoidable, or is this a bug? Either way, good show!

You can now use the kde file dialog in Firefox 2.0 by going to about:config
and changing the value of the key
"ui.allow_platform_file_picker" to "false".
