New folder loses focus
Last modified: 2009-02-26 15:03:19 UTC
Please describe the problem: After having created a new folder in gtk open/save dialogs, the folder list is sorted, causing the new directory to get a new position in the list of folders and the newly created folder loses focus. This is unwanted behavior, since a lot of times you want to enter your newly created folder. Suggested behavior is to let the newly created folder retain focus after placing it at the appropriate position in the list of directories after creation. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open save dialog 2. Create a new folder 3. Rename the new folder Actual results: Focus of the folder is lost. No folder with focus. Expected results: Newly created folder keeps the focus Does this happen every time? Yes Other information:
(In reply to comment #0) [snip] > Expected results: > Newly created folder keeps the focus > Besides keeping focus it also has to keep visible to the user, because when it's sorted after rename, it can be out of view. I've tried win xp filechooser and handles this bug very well.
Mac OS behavior has always been to immediately navigate inside the new folder, on the grounds that if you create it then it's because that's where you want to save the file. Does Windows really just select the folder?
