Description Euan MacGregor 2004-06-12 18:29:27 UTC 
- Bring up save dialog
- Type a filename with a path into the textbox (e.g. /tmp/asdf)
- Observe attempt failing because there's a "/" in the filename.

My expectation is that I can type the directory faster than I can hunt it down
with a mouse, and that it would be less intrusive to my workflow.

See bug #143011 for a related issue.  We'll be changing the save dialog to allow
you to type relative paths shortly.
Comment 2 Jon Kåre Hellan 2004-07-30 09:05:15 UTC 
Presumably, Federico means both relative and absolute paths :-)
Comment 3 Federico Mena Quintero 2004-08-06 19:59:55 UTC 
Fixed in both the HEAD and gtk-2-4 branches.
