Description Sean Middleditch 2004-03-04 18:18:08 UTC 
The Fiel Chooser shows backup files, even tho display of such is turned off
for Nautilus.  This results in the user seeing a different set of files in
the File Chooser than they see in Nautilus.

Perhaps the File Chooser should follow the gconf settings of Nautilus (when
using the GNOME backend, at least).
Comment 1 Federico Mena Quintero 2004-03-08 21:48:26 UTC 
We need a general scheme to share configuration information between
Nautilus and GTK+.
Comment 2 Sean Middleditch 2004-03-08 21:52:12 UTC 
Cannot the gnome-vfs backend, as a temporary solution, simple use
gconf to query the proper keys?  (Sorry, I'm not familiar with how all
that stuff inter-operates.)
Comment 3 Owen Taylor 2004-03-09 13:02:50 UTC 
I think the "generic mechanism" is called XSETTINGS/GtkSettings...

Comment 5 Loïc Minier 2005-04-28 17:26:44 UTC 
.oO( How does one open backup files if they're always hidden?)
Comment 6 Ross Burton 2005-04-28 17:55:39 UTC 
I think showing backup files should be controlled by the same toggle which shows
hidden files in the file selector.
Comment 7 Matthias Clasen 2005-04-29 15:50:47 UTC 
Yes, thats the idea. And that toggle should be synchronized with the toggle
controlling nautilus hidden files, probably using some setting.

Adding "*~" to the regexps for files hidden by the "show hidden files" toggle
does not have to wait on the synchronization, though.  A patch to make the file
chooser use the same regexps as nautilus would be welcome.
Comment 8 Matthias Clasen 2005-06-11 04:39:52 UTC 
I have done this for the unix backend now. Moving to libgnomeui to do the same
for the gnome-vfs backend
Comment 9 Kjartan Maraas 2008-08-28 10:19:27 UTC 
Closing now that gtk+ is the one true file chooser implementation.
