Proposed patch, if you type ..TAB it goes to parent directory (674 bytes, patch)

Description bit 2002-08-05 23:29:45 UTC 
When usin the file dialog (tested in gimp and the background-properties
thing) if you type ..<tab> (2 dots and TAB) it stays in the current
directory instead of going up to the parent directory. You have to type
../TAB to get this result, but it worked with only ..TAB in 1.x.

Comment 2 Szekeres Istvan 2002-10-04 09:14:55 UTC 
The proposed patch does not handle the situation correctly if you have
a directory called "...". In this case it should bring up with the
choices ".." and "...".

        * gtk/gtkfilesel.c (open_new_dir): Include "."
        and ".." in the list of entries; they are needed for
        correct handling of .<TAB>, ..<TAB>; were lost
        with the GDir conversion. (Francisco Bustamante,
        #89972)

        * gtk/gtkfilesel.c (open_new_dir): If we hit
        EOF unexpectedly, that's OK... a file was just
        deleted while we were reading the directory.
