Shit, just linux.

Use this community for anything related to linux for now, if it gets too huge maybe there will be some sort of meme/gaming/shitpost spinoff. Currently though… go nuts

How do I disable the file type filter in KDE's file picker? (sh.itjust.works)

When I open a "Save" dialog, or a file selection dialog, only one type of file is shown. Sometimes it even filters by the extensions.

I don't want this! This isn't Windows, where file extensions really matter! How do I disable the filtering, or set it to show "All Files" by default?

The "Save Page" dialog: you'd think there are only 2 files here, both .html files

Nope! There's lots of stuff!

Thanks! That's a lot of info, looks useful.

When I said "XY problem", was that a "shibboleet"?

The phrase "XY problem" was not in and of itself, but the paragraph below it where you explained what you wanted in more detail definitely helped.
