            Bug ID: 368770
           Summary: Kate uses default Qt File Dialog *not KDE file dialog*
                    which breaks tons of features, including KIO
           Product: kate
           Version: 16.04.1
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: application
          Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
          Reporter: mj...@mit.edu

packages from kubuntu 16.04.1 with backports
Kate version 15.12.3
KDE Frameworks 5.23.0
Qt 5.5.1 (built against 5.5.1)

Since upgrading KDE to KDE5 from kubuntu/backports a major showstopper was
introduced. The File open/save dialogs are no longer the KDE dialogs but the
ultra-simplistic standard QtFileDialog. This means:

  * no KIO/remote files
  * no copy&paste or typing of a URL
  * no "places"
  * ....

I was so far completely unable to debug the issue as I am not on top of all the
Qt5/KDE framworks-plugin mechanism. But I am very willing to help track this
down if I can get some help! Kwrite shows the same behaviour, while (strangely)
Gwenview opens the proper KDE dialog.

Please let me know how I can help!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open kate
2. click file-> open
3.

Actual Results:  
Shows simplistic Qt File Dialog

Expected Results:  
Shows KDE File Dialog with all bells and whistles

Also happens with a newly created user account (so no stale KDE config files
from before the move to KDE5)
