Fixes spatial alt-up selection in parent window (8.02 KB, patch)

Description Matt Brubeck 2004-05-10 01:20:09 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:

1. Open a folder in a spatial Nautilus window.
2. If the folder's parent is open, close it (or unselect the child's icon).
3. In the folder's window, press Alt+Up or Alt+Shift+Up to open its parent.

Results: The original folder is not selected in the parent's window.
Expected results: The original folder is selected in the parent's window.

Note: Non-spatial windows have the expected behavior (see bug 47921).

Fixing this would make keyboard navigation in spatial windows easier.  Currently
after going "up", it is difficult to go back down to the original folder.  If
this bug is fixed, then you could just press "down" to back (as you can in
non-spatial Nautilus).

Makes alt-up select current window's icon in parent window

This patch fixes the bug. Turns out that open_location() in
nautilus-window-manage-views.c wasn't correctly setting a window's list of
pending selections if the newly-created window was a spatial window. Setting
do_load_location to false was causing that piece of code to be skipped over.
The patch re-arranges the code to fix that.

Here's a more thorough patch that correctly reveals the new selection whether
or not the parent window is already open.
