May I mention the discussion/rationale for context? Here. |

Will be done after LXQt 2.0.0 (which will be released soon) because, contrary to the appearances, it'll need several considerations and thorough testing. |

Cool!! Thank you so much for considering this!!! |

A path can be absolute or relative and can be used with file opening and saving alike. Also, two minor issues are revealed and fixed after this change: * A mistake is corrected in the logic of showing error message about nonexistent files. * An issue is fixed in updating accept button on changing directory. NOTE: Although this isn't self-consistent, Qt's default file dialog supports it. It can also be useful when the path is already copied from somewhere. The extra code is kept to a minimum. Closes #962

That wouldn't be self-consistent for obvious reasons, but since Qt's default file dialog supports it, we might also want to do so.
If it's going to be done, the implementation should be as self-consistent as possible— for example, the completer should work if the pasted path is inside the current directory, or the path may need to be removed in that case,… — hence self-assigning.
