You understood my question correctly. It might be that my problem is that I'm using KDE3. So probably latest version is not compatible with KDE3. I can't see "Places" or "Setting" buttons.
Sounds like Qt5 is using its own file dialog, instead of KDE's. As I do have KDE3 installed here too (though I haven't used it since 8 years or so) I just gave it a try, and the latest okular did use the KDE file dialog here. So it definitely is "compatible with KDE3". i.e. KDE3 is detected as KDE session by Qt5. I'm on 13.2 (not Tumbleweed), but that shouldn't make a difference in this regard (I do have the latest Qt5 and KDE packages installed).
Previous version worked OK.
As I wrote, previous okular versions were KDE4 and Qt4 based. Qt5 tries to adapt itself to the desktop in use even more so than Qt4 did. It does so by detecting the desktop in use and then loading an appropriate plugin. KDE's plugin "tells" Qt5 to use KDE's file dialog instead of its own (amongst other things). Apparently you don't have that plugin. Try to install the package "plasma5-integration-plugin". Note that the package is mainly called like that because it is provided by (and released with) Plasma5, it doesn't require you to actually install Plasma5 (nor pulls it in) and is used in any "KDE" session.
So probably the key is "uses KF5 file dialog". I did not install plasma 5, but rather xfce and then KDE3.
That would explain why that plugin is not installed. It is required by plasma5-workspace (so that Qt5 and KF5 applications are integrated in a Plasma5 desktop), but neither by xfce (of course, it makes no sense there) nor KDE3. As this plugin is only used in a KDE session anyway, it doesn't really make sense to install it without a KDE desktop. So it is not pulled in by KDE applications either.
From the other side I have other KDE5 applications (e.g. digikam) that work correctly.
That's strange though, I would expect digikam to use Qt's file dialog as well then (instead of KDE's). And that's what it does here if I uninstall plasma5- integration-plugin according to what I tried just now. OTOH, there is not much use of file dialogs in digikam normally, is there?
