Hi, I'm using chessx in Kubuntu 20.4. The opening dialog, like the save window, does not display any files or directories. ChessX version 1.4.6.0 UNIX GNU Qt5.12.5
If I' want open a pgn file, the dialog windows is empty. It happens on my 2 computers with Kubuntu 20.4. and 1 Kubuntu 2.10. Same with the save dialog window. On another computer running Debian Buster, everything works great. ( ChessX version 1.4.6.0 UNIX GNU Qt5.11.1)
Linux and Windows occasionally have issues displaying native file dialogs. There is a workaround which helps in case you compile ChessX yourself: Add the flag
QFileDialog::DontUseNativeDialog
to all calls of open / save file dialogs.
Same issue here with 20.04 and 1.5.7beta
and file dialog is quite slow to open

Hi,
I cannot reproduce this issue:
@decenk,
I would suggest to recompile with a newest version to test again:
I am using:
ChessX : Version 1.5.7 from Git:
Commit: 7175f4c
Gnome: 3.34.7
Note: The issue indicated by @hognose above(
DontUseNativeDialog
) is a problem for Gnome to display Qt File Open Dialogs, but it should not affect KDE Plasma. However, I am using gnome and it works fine.Compiled against: Qt5.12.7
Note: The current git version 1.5.7 requires Qt>5.14.1, or some source code editions are required for succesfully compile. Please compile with Qt>5.14.1

It only happens in the Plasma environment. If I use in Kubuntu e.g. XFCE or MATE chessx works well.
@decenk,
This is interesting. I don't have a KDE plasma on hand, only Gnome and Xfce. For me, it works O.K. on Gnome 3.x
You indicated above:
I am curious, did you attempt to reproduce this issue with a newer version?
ie, ChessX version 1.5.6 (current release available).
If it stills happens in 1.5.6, we can try testing if
DontUseNativeDialog
changes the behavior, as @hognose proposed above.Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
QMake version 3.1
qmake -recursive
Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: svg multimedia
What is missing?

@decenk,
For your output,
You need svg and multimedia Qt5 modules to compile it;
Try installing both
libqt5svg-dev
andqtmultimedia5-dev
before attempting qmake again,ie
Thanks,
the compilation went well after installing the libraries, but the error persists.
@decenk,
It is worth trying the
DontUseNativeDialog
mode to see if that changes anything for your setup.To do that,

The compilation fails with error 1:

Hi @decenk,
Yes. I know that problem. Its just the new code needs a higher Qt version that what your distro brings you.
The easiest way to compile is using some few changes:

Then you can try compiling again

Hi,
the last source code compiled well and the bug in the program is no
longer reflected. Thanks for the great application and respect for your
work.

@decenk,
I am glad it works.
@hognose
This suggestion you proposed worked for Frantisek (see above)
However,
I am not completely sure what route you'd like to take with this issue
As it is not a direct bug for ChessX.
This makes sense given that the No-Native QFileDialogs are not nicely integrated with each user's DE experience, and thus it looks less polished.
This makes sense given that the No-Native QFileDialogs offers correct performance in all devices and DE configurations.
In case you want to change the code
Find a patch attached,
