Description Christian Persch 2007-12-26 11:00:06 UTC 
In gtk_file_system_unix_parse:  

if (!filename)
    {
      g_set_error (error,
                   GTK_FILE_SYSTEM_ERROR,
                   GTK_FILE_SYSTEM_ERROR_BAD_FILENAME,
                   "%s", ""); /* nothing for now, as we are string-frozen */
      return FALSE;
    }

This should be filled in now :)

Christian, how did you find that one? From following the code paths in expand_tilde(), this branch only is entered in OOM conditions.

So I'd even vote for removing this check, and therefore this empty error message.

Federico?

I didn't encounter this message while running a programme; I just happened to look at the code.

This is obsoleted by the new gio filechooser.
