The interesting files are in kdevplatform.git:
 
./shell/openprojectdialog.h
./shell/openprojectdialog.cpp
./shell/openprojectpage.h
./shell/openprojectpage.cpp

Note there were updates to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=360295, 
though. I think instead of fixing just the the contents of the embedded file 
dialog, we rather want to turn that into a standalone platform-specific file 
dialog.

This isn't trivial anymore, rather complex as a starter task. I suggest 
looking around in the junior jobs listing again, looking for other bug reports 
in case you'd like to work on simpler tasks.

Cheers,
Kevin

PS: Please answer-to-all, e.g. keep kdevelop-devel at kde.org in CC when you 
reply.
