<div>Looking at iOS and Android, it might be not a bad idea to
have a phone UI without an explicit file interface at all.
Hackers won't appreciate it, but they have terminal anyway
and, well, for them you can create a custom File Open dialog. </div>

Yeah, I think those two are not mutually exclusive & doable.
IIRC there should be Tracker, so it should be possible to get all
photos or any other categories of files Tracker can discern (all
audio files, all txt files, all PDFs). <br>
But on the other hand, some applications just won't do without a
standard file-chooser, like a text editor, offline comic book
reader, an image editor. At least without getting and putting the
files on a global file heap, making finding stuff difficult.<br>
Of course a lot can be done with tags and semantic stuff (where did
the file come from, what app made it), but as shown by the KDE &
GNOME projects (Nepomuk, Akonadi, Tracker, etc.) it is not easy to
get right. Just having a simple time-proven file open dialog is IMHO
a much simpler, easier & safer solution.<br>
<br>
BTW, Android and to a lesser degree Harmattan could be used as a bad
example of what happens if there is no default file dialog - every
app that needs it would implement their own, all looking different
(and not native) and every one of them with their own set of
drawbacks. <br>

Ok, I'm new to QML, I didn't know about
qmldir. I'll give a look. But I was
hopping something common to avoid
discrepency on the platform. Thanks for
the info.<br>

Great. I'll give a look also waiting for
something from Jolla if any. Thanks.<br>

What about the FileDialog component[1] introduced in Qt
5.1 ?<br>
The documentation says that it will use a native platform
file-open dialog if available,<br>
so maybe just make a silica themed file open dialog and
show it once the FileDialog component is used ?<br>
