Image files are invisible on file browser window using insert image function https://anonm.gr?14a5.png

Thank you for reporting.
I just tested on Windows 8.1 and they were visible for me in the file-open dialog.
Can you please post the output from the debug settings.

strace (splitted): https://arin.ga/UQyL3u

the path is /home/user/Immagini/vaporwawe_wall
i suggest to start from line 1126
the information provided by log doesn't report any error, only line like this:

[pbek]

Oh, I thought you were using Windows...
It also works for me in KDE Neon.

[pbek]

What Desktop Environment are you using?

[Manu-sh]

I use xfce on my notebook, but after i can test on another pc with gnome

[pbek]

QOwnNotes tries to use the native file open dialog (via Qt). I'm not sure which dialog you are using under xfce. You can also drag and drop images to QOwnNotes.

[Manu-sh]

I don't think that this is the problem because qtcreator show those file, however maybe after i can try to make more test

[Manu-sh]

@pbek i have also try on another pc with gnome and same issue, i use arch linux on both my pc, the current version of Qt is 5.7.0

[pbek]

Strange, I can see them under Manjaro (Arch with KDE) under Qt 5.7. Can you please post a screenshot of the dialog under Gnome.

[Manu-sh]

Ok, i have make following test:
On gnome and kde with version 16.11.11:

• https://anonm.gr?65c0.png
• https://anonm.gr?d2e0.png

then i have also clone and build from branch master, previously i have used develop branch:
but same issue, then i have try to build without using parallel jobs but doesn't solve anything
for build i have used following commands:

git clone https://github.com/pbek/QOwnNotes -b master
cd QOwnNotes
git submodule update --init
cd src
qmake
make
sudo make install

edit: i have also reinstall those library: sudo pacman -S qt5-base qt5-svg qt5-declarative
and rebuild, but nothing to do
re-edit: and also with yaourt package

[pbek]

Can you please create a .enex file and try if you see it in the Evernote importer?
Do you have similar problems with other KDE Applications if file extensions are filtered?

[Manu-sh]

.enex files are correctly shown

[pbek]

interesting, and you you have any Qt application that opens files with multiple formats in one filter (like the QOwnNotes image open dialog)?

[Manu-sh]

No multiple formats no, Qtcreator show JPEG or PNG etc.. but no multiple formats

[pbek]

I hope I can reproduce that somewhere.

[pbek]

It also worked under Unity in a Ubuntu 14.04 and in openSUSE Leap.
I used the syntax from the documentation for setting up the filter.

• https://github.com/pbek/QOwnNotes/blob/windows-b2512/src/mainwindow.cpp#L4884
• http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qfiledialog.html#setNameFilter

I'm not sure what I can do. Since you seem to build QOwnNotes yourself you could try to modify the filter string.

[pbek]

I also tried to use dialog.setOption(QFileDialog::DontUseNativeDialog, true); to get the non-native dialog. It worked there too...

[Manu-sh]

@pbek i don't have experience with C++ or Qt framework but i have try to replace this line:
dialog.setNameFilter(tr("Image files (*.jpg *.png *.gif)"));

with this (just for test):
dialog.setNameFilter(tr("Images (*.jpg *.png *.gif)"));

copied from http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qfiledialog.html, and now work properly
(i have also insert an image without any problem)

https://anonm.gr?8b9c.png

then i suspect that you have install more Qt version on your pc and for this reason work, but i don't know...

[pbek]

Oh, I now think I saw spaces in the *.jpg *.png *.gif expressions in your first screenshot. You are using the Italian translation. So that's the problem. Can you please test to use the original code and switch the language to any other language than Italian.

[pbek]

I tried it myself too. The Italian translation for that string is "broken". I think I will exclude the file extensions.

[Manu-sh]

Yes @pbek i have change language from it to en and now work properly

[pbek]

Thank you for testing.

[Manu-sh]

Thank you for this program is really useful for me

[pbek]

Thank you for your kind words and your effort on the Italian translation!

[pbek]

16.11.13

• Fixed a problem with inserting images when application language is Italian
  
  
  
  • potential file open dialog filter problems in other languages were
    
    also fixed in the process
  
  

[pbek]

There now is a new release, could you please test it and report if the dialog works for you?

[Manu-sh]

Yes i can confirm, now image files are correctly shown

[pbek]

Great, thank you!
