Open File Dialog
Kate does not use its own internal open file dialog. If you run Kate with KDE window manager then Kate should use the KDE file open dialog which offers configurable options like "show file extension" or allowing you to sort by file extension. If Kate is installed on a non-KDE system such as a Ubuntu system or Mint system then a very limited "sucky" file dialog is used.
