The default filter for contacts does start as .csv, but even if you  
change the dropdown to all files, there is no way I can see for it to  
include "hidden" directories (starting with a dot).  That is  
(hopefully) simply some parameter they haven't passed to whatever  
actual file find dialog they are calling.  For finding a calendar file,  
the filter starts as .ics (I think) but again, the issue is not really  
the files, it's the folders, and all my contacts and calendar files are  
under ~/.kde4.
