File open dialog looses its filter option
Last modified: 2006-01-31 01:14:55 UTC
Please describe the problem: File open dialog looses its filter option, when ever any button showing the "current selected folder" is clicked. I was using Glade 2.10.0, which has ".glade" filter set to its file open dialog. Steps to reproduce: For any gtk application ... 1. Menu File -> open. Opens a file open dialog. Pls check if it has any filter set other then "all files *.*". 2. Using tree control on the left side browse to folder, say for example, c:\documents and settings\administrator\projects\testing\project1 3. Now click on any button, showing the current selected folder on the right top. Actual results: The filter set the file open dialog disappears. Expected results: Filter to be shown always Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: No
I think this is possibly describing a GTK+ bug, not a gtk-engines bug.
Created attachment 58371 [details] Filter display in GTK+ file open dialog. I am using Glade-2.10.0 to demostrate this bug. 1. Run glade. 2. use the menu File->open, display the file open dialog. The dialog display the filters ("glade"). Circle item in this image.
Created attachment 58372 [details] Filter display in GTK+ file open dialog - disappears 3. Click on the "Gtk+" button shown on the top right. The red colored circled button in this image. 4. The filter option disappears. The red circle at the bottom right.
To demonstrate the problem, I have attached to snap shot of the Glade file open dialog. I am using Glade-2.10.0 on window XP, which has been installed along with GTK+2.8.8-rc2 runtime environment. First image shows the initial file open dialog, when glade is run and the menu "File->Open" is used. We can the filter ".glade" set in the dialog. In the second image, we can see the filter getting disappered, when user clicks the button on the top with name "Gtk+".
Ah, what you are seeing is intentional behaviour, I think. The filter is unselected in some circumstances. I believe this happens if the currently selected file/folder would otherwise become hidden. I think we have done some changes in this area recently. Federico ?
This is a duplicate of bug #321560, which was fixed right after 2.8.8 came out. Divakar, can you please update your gtk+? *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 321560 ***
