Description Bernhard Rumpler 2007-05-23 11:14:13 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.
Comment 2 Germar Reitze 2013-09-16 23:54:59 UTC
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.
