File open dialog does not show files if there is no dot extension

[sudeep-quantelai]

Just upgraded to Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS and pgadmin v6.17. When I click on the file open dialog files don't show up even if the 'All files' option is chosen. The only files that show up are the ones that have any kind of a dot followed by an extension. My files dont have an extension (Which is another pet peeve - Why cant pgadmin save files with a default .SQL extension like it used to). So any files without a dot extension will not be shown.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a couple of files with no extension
2. Clock on the Open File icon
3. Only files with an extension is shown. Files with no extension are not shown.

Hi @sudeep-quantelai,

It looks you are using pgAdmin desktop. pgAdmin just opens the native file dialog of the OS. pgAdmin does not have any control on what is shown on the native file dialog. Can you confirm you're using pgAdmin desktop app, along with screenshot?

Thanks.

[sudeep-quantelai]

Yes, I am using pgadmin desktop but looks like All files uses a . filter. I am using Linux. There is no issue in the OS file browser. I can see all the files there. If I add a .SQL extension to all the files they show up. If a file does not have an extension it does not show up. Looks like pgadmin defines 'All files' as .

[adityatoshniwal]

@sudeep-quantelai The "All Files" option is added by OS. I tested on Ubuntu 22 and it works fine for me. Attached is the screenshot.

[adityatoshniwal]

@sudeep-quantelai This looks like an issue with your Ubuntu, may be try restarting it once. Closing the issue for now.

[sudeep-quantelai]

I tried starting Ubuntu and still the same behavior. Other applications also have an All Files function but they dont have this issue. I tried gedit and the All files there has no issue. pgadmin seems to have the issue. The All Files seems to have a *.* filter which means it expects a . in the file name.

See screenshots here. First folder with gedit. 3 files shown with All Files filter

Same folder in pgadmin. Only filenames with extensions are shown.

So not sure you should be closing this issue yet as this seems to be an issue isolated to pgadmin

[sudeep-quantelai]

Please see comment with screenshot in GitHub. This seems to be affecting pgadmin only and not other apps that use the same dialog.

@sudeep-quantelai Can you try this solution - https://askubuntu.com/a/1003889? As I mentioned, pgAdmin does not add the All Files option. It is added by the OS. And I am not able to reproduce it.

[sudeep-quantelai]

I tried the workarounds suggested and still same behavior. I hear you about the dialog being from the OS but pgadmin has a hook into the OS to get the dialog. Here is the same folder from Firefox. No issues with Firefox either. pgadmin is the only app with this issue.

[adityatoshniwal]

@sudeep-quantelai That's strange. I tested pgAdmin on my Ubuntu 22 and file manager is working fine. I am reopening it for now. @FaharAbbasRizvi Can you please verify once?

[anilsahoo20]

It is reproducible in Deb 12 with pgAdmin 4 v8.6 candidate build.

[pravesh-sharma]

Tested on the latest snapshot build and the issue is still reproducible. Tested on Ubuntu 22.04

[pravesh-sharma]

I have raised the issue with Electron.

Update:

I have raised a new issue.
