Review request for KDevelop and Kevin Funk.


Changes
-------

Submitted with commit b736adda01a19d80b2f4fb5553c1288eaca2bec5 by Sven Brauch to branch 5.0.


Repository: kdevplatform


Description
-------

The native dialog has two significant restrictions: it cannot be embedded, and it cannot be told to accept both a directory _or_ a file at once. 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.

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.

Testing
-------

can open from CMakeLists.txt, from foo.kdev5 or from a folder; also fetch works again (before simply random stuff happened)
