Description Dennis Cranston 2005-01-26 02:23:34 UTC 
The gtk_file_chooser_set_current_folder() is broken.

Call gtk_file_chooser_set_current_folder() with /some/path and the
file-chooser-button sets its folder to a subfolder (i.e. /some/path/child).  It
should be set the folder to given path.

Screenshot demonstrating the problem.

This is screenshot of testfilechooserbutton.  Notice that the value for "Select
Folder" is "CVS", but when "Test"->"Print Selected Path" is clicked the Folder
is actually "/gnome/cvs/gtk+/tests".
Comment 2 Federico Mena Quintero 2005-02-02 18:26:10 UTC 
Fixed on HEAD and gtk-2-6.

2005-02-02  Federico Mena Quintero  <federico@ximian.com>

	* gtk/gtkfilechooserdefault.c (pending_select_paths_process):
	Don't select the first row if the chooser is not mapped.  This
	happens when it's acting on behalf of GtkFileChooserButton.  Also,
	don't select the first row if we are in SAVE or CREATE_FOLDER
	modes --- I had missed that (see the ChangeLog entry from
	2005-01-18).  Fixes #165264.

*** Bug 302087 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 4 Morten Welinder 2005-04-29 14:15:45 UTC 
Well, if you think bug 302087 is a dupe I'll have to reopen this.
To summarize:

A: gtk_file_chooser_set_uri ("/uri/to/statfuns.xls");
B: gtk_file_chooser_unselect_all ();
C: gtk_file_chooser_set_current_name ("statfuns");

With cvs HEAD, A effectively gets done after both B and C.
Comment 5 Federico Mena Quintero 2005-04-29 16:52:15 UTC 
Ah, good call.  We have to clear the list of pending selections if someone calls
unselect_all().  I'll close this bug and reopen the duplicate, which is about
this particular problem.  Sorry for the confusion :)
