Or is QFileDialog getting confused somewhere? I just don't see why we have to determine "is this url a file or a directory" when the API is clear about the directory argument. But I assume I'm looking at the wrong place, setDirectory is also called with some other URL?

Now that I read the documentation again I don't see any mention of it, but if you provide a local file url to getOpenFileUrls()'s dir parameter it will open the directory of the file and pre-select the file. While this works for local files it does not work for remote protocols.

I looked into this last night for a couple of hours, but I have not dug deep enough to find it. I do suspect that this maybe hidden feature just can not work for remote protocols and that the "fix" has to be in the integration.
