On KDE Plasma using the KDE filepicker, you aren't even able to change the filter to show all files. The only avaliable option is "Windows Installer package".
This seems to affect at least Plasma. I'm using GNOME and it shows exe files without a problem. This could be a problem on Plasma's end.
I asked in #chat:kde.org.
Alright, a contributor mentioned that this is indeed an issue on xdg-desktop-portal-kde, and referred to https://invent.kde.org/plasma/xdg-desktop-portal-kde/-/merge_requests/138, which fixes the issue.
If anyone is interested with what the issue is, currently, xdg-desktop-portal-kde does not support filtering media types and patterns together. However, we are filtering msi files by media type, and exe files by pattern. The only solution would be to only use one or the other.
I'll try filter using media types only.
I found a workaround, if you press the clear button at the right side inside the "Filter:" combobox, it will clear the filter allowing you to select a .exe file.
Describe the bug
When using 'Run executable', the file picker filters to 'Windows Installer package', which are MSI files. The default filter should also include actual Windows executable files (.EXE). To show these files, you have to cancel the filter.
To be even friendlier, it may also be wise to include other executable Windows file formats by default: .bat, .cmd, .vbs, .ps1, .msp.
