In case one calls QFileDialog::getSaveFileName() without any parameters, it shows an empty filter on Windows, which looks a bit odd. The issue isn't reproducing on Linux.
The attached code snippet can be used to reproduce the issue:
#include <QApplication> #include <QFileDialog> int main(int argc, char **argv) { QApplication app(argc, argv); QFileDialog::getSaveFileName(); return 0; }
If this is intended behaviour then it should be documented at least.

can be used to workaround the problem. Doing it that way it shows all files in case no filters are set.
