Revision history [back]

What I stumble upon as a developer for SailfishOS that there is no default way to provide a file open or save dialog. As also the Qt.labs.folderlistmodel QML plugin aswell as others aren't allowed in the Jolla Store the only way would be implementing a file open dialog in c++ (or partly in c++).

This results in inconsistency as developers need to programm their own file dialog. It also is a huge limitation for most developers wanting to write software that goes into the official store and who just want to have a file open dialog for their apps and don't want to reinvent the wheel by writing one on their own.

So my request is to add a standard file open/save dialog to the Silicia API in SailfishOS which is allowed to be used for Store Apps.
