<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">I agree with Aleix that imposing an additional step isn't something I'd be too happy with.
One solution would be to add an additional button to the dialog, "open current directory" (or simply <code style="text-rendering: inherit;color: #4444cc;padding: 0;white-space: normal;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;">"here"</code>?). I suppose that'd be possible with the KDE dialog, less so if the native file dialog allows to add buttons.</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">If all else fails there's always the possibility to add a "<em style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: normal;">.</em>" selection, and then get the directory to open from the selected file.</p></pre>

<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">Requiring to select any file to select the directory is a terribly unintuive workflow, nobody is going to figure that out.</p></pre>

The previous change to the open project dialog broke the (important) option to open a directory as a project. This fixes that through introduction of an extra step: you select the method you want to open your project with first. This has the advantage of making it more clear to the user what the options are; many users are still not aware you can simply tell KDevelop to open a folder as a project.</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">I'm well aware this is far from an optimal solution, but right now it's just broken and this is certainly an improvement over the current situation. Better ideas welcome.</p></pre>
