Description Jan Arne Petersen 2003-12-02 22:09:03 UTC 
GtkFileChooser doesn't show files initially if filters are used. You have
to change the selected filter or the directory before you can see the files.
Comment 1 Jan Arne Petersen 2004-02-19 12:30:23 UTC 
This problem occurs if if you first add a filter to a chooser and than
add a pattern to the filter:

filter = gtk_file_filter_new ();
gtk_file_chooser_add_filter (chooser, filter);
gtk_filter_add_pattern (filter, "*.foo");

The problem is that the file list is filtered in the add_filter 
function and the filter doesn't notify about changes, so the pattern 
is ignored till another folder is selected or another filter is 
selected.
