Description Philippe Rouquier 2008-07-19 13:55:39 UTC 
Sorry if this is not a bug or if it has been fixed but as the title says, I don't get any "file-set" signal when a user clicks on one of the entries in the menu that appears after a GtkFileChooserButton is clicked.
I only get such a signal when a user selects a file (and validate his choice) from the GtkFileChooserDialog that appears after selecting "Other..." (rought translation) from the menu.
The API says:
"The ::file-set signal is emitted when the user selects a file."
and it seems to me that's the case.

Using GTK+ 2.12.11 in Fedora 9

file-set should be emitted when the user clicks 'Open', 'Save', etc. Otherwise I think you want ::selection-changed.
Comment 2 Federico Mena Quintero 2013-09-23 20:16:38 UTC 
This is fixed since bug #691040 was fixed.
