FlashGUI v1.1.10

FlashGUI v1.1.10

KDE native file dialog release.

What’s new

• KDE/Plasma native file dialogs in Qt

  • FlashGUI now prefers KDE kdialog for open/save/folder pickers when:
    • native dialogs are enabled,
    • the app is running on Linux,
    • KDE/Plasma is detected,
    • and kdialog is installed.

• Safe fallback behavior

  • If kdialog is unavailable or cannot be invoked successfully, FlashGUI falls back to the existing Qt dialog path.
  • If the user cancels the KDE dialog, FlashGUI returns cleanly without opening a second dialog.

• Regression coverage expanded

  • Added tests for KDE dialog gating and wrapper behavior.
  • Added automated checklist coverage for theme/settings/layout persistence and release-gate regressions.

Why this matters

This release targets GitHub issue #5: KDE users requested truly native file dialogs instead of the Qt fallback-only path. v1.1.10 keeps the fix tightly scoped to KDE/Linux while preserving existing behavior elsewhere.

Issue #5 closeout note

Please validate on KDE/Plasma using latest release v1.1.10:

1. Open-file dialog
2. Save-file dialog
3. Existing-directory dialog
4. Cancel each once and confirm no second dialog appears

If a KDE-specific edge case remains, open a follow-up issue with:

• distro + version
• KDE/Plasma version
• whether kdialog is installed
• exact picker flow that failed
• relevant log excerpt
