  2. File > Save As

Expected behavior: See "native dialog.png" attached below. This is the dialog that appears for File > Save As in r.1833 for Windows.

Actual behavior: See "non-native dialog.png" attached below. This is the dialog that appears for File > Save As and File Save a Copy in r.1841 for Windows. Besides the different appearance, some of the functionality of native dialog is missing such as the normal contents of the context menu when you right click on a file.

fixed in rev. 1851. Code was changed to use the qt native file dialog in an attempt to fix the "save as" bug on ubuntu.
For windows this change is now reverted.

Windows still has a non-native dialog in r.1852 (self built, Windows XP) so this change is not properly reverted.

There is a non native dialog for save as and save a copy, but the save button (also found in the file menu) shows the native windows dialog.

My system:
-Windows XP, Media Center Edition
-Muse Score Revision 1944

The non native dialog looks a lot like the KDE dialog. On a windows machine, it makes more sense to use a windows native save dialog.
