When I open a "Save" dialog, or a file selection dialog, only one type of file is shown. Sometimes it even filters by the extensions.

I don't want this! This isn't Windows, where file extensions really matter! How do I disable the filtering, or set it to show "All Files" by default?

The "Save Page" dialog: you'd think there are only 2 files here, both .html files

Nope! There's lots of stuff!

Right at the bottom of the first screenshot:

Filter: Webpage, HTML only

Just click there to set it to All Files.

I don't want to do that every time, for every program! There must be a KDE/Plasma-level setting for this, since it's the KDE Plasma file picker.
