I regret very much that the "All File" entry has been removed on purpose.

The problem is that without it, you cannot open "border-case" files, like 
files without extensions (for example: README, TODO...)

And as KDE dialog do not support to have a star * as file name and therefore 
to display every file, it is even more necessary.

Have a nice day/evening/night!
