Description Wouter Bolsterlee (uws) 2006-05-15 20:02:59 UTC 
The location entry in the new filechooser does not autocomplete.
Comment 1 Wouter Bolsterlee (uws) 2006-05-19 15:50:15 UTC 
It does complete now, but sometimes it seems to pick the wrong directory to complete for (I cannot reproduce right now, will try again later).

Another issue is that if you press enter when you typed a (completed) directory in the entry, the files treeview does not update to the new directory. This makes it impossible to use the treeview after you typed a few letters.
Comment 2 Wouter Bolsterlee (uws) 2006-06-01 22:03:45 UTC 
Try this:

1. Open a file chooser dialog
2. Make sure the entry is visible
3. Type /tmp in the entry, followed by enter
4. The treeview updates.
5. Type some letters in the entry

Expected:
6. Filename completion for the new directory

Actual:
6. Filename completion for the old directory

Dan Winship (or was it Larry Ewing?) found the cause for this.  I'll merge the patch soon.
Comment 4 Wouter Bolsterlee (uws) 2006-10-26 14:15:13 UTC 
When is soon? ;-)

Bug #379414 seems to be a duplicate, it already has a patch.
