GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 440667
setting the show-hidden property has no effect (Win32 at least)
Last modified: 2015-07-31 01:41:59 UTC
Setting the show-hidden property has no effect when initially creating a FileChooser. Setting this property via the context menu works - even across sessions, the information is saved correctly in the gtkfilechooser file. But even when deleting this file and setting the property explicitly (set_show_hidden), no effect can be observed. get_show_hidden returns the correct (modified) value. Probably this is just a win32-issue. Unfortunately, I don't have gtk-2.10 installed on linux, so I can't check this. I'm using 2.10.7 on Win2K and WinXP.
Hi Bernhard, if you have time, could you please check again whether this issue still happens in gtk+ 3.2 (or if 3.2 is impossible: in 2.24) and update this report by adding a comment and changing the "Version" field? Thanks a lot for your help.
I can confirm this bug with gtk+ 2.24 on Linux (Debian Wheeze with gtk+ 2.24.10 and Ubuntu Quantal with gtk+ 2.24.13)
I've fixed this in 3.17, recently.
