GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 559276
file-chooser unsets file filter
Last modified: 2008-11-06 02:07:51 UTC
Happens in 2.6.1 and 2.6.2 Windows on XP. - Launch GIMP - File/Open, browse to dir with .AI file - file not listed - Choose another file - Close this file - File/Open again - .AI file listed.
The default filter for the Open dialog is "All images", and .AI isn't an image file for GIMP. If you opened an image before and then do a File->Open from this image, then the filter is not set. This might be the actual bug here.
Yes, the bug is that you do see the .ai file on the second try. This should not happen unless you do select "All files".
Please note that I can only reproduce this if I do not close the first file.
The AI import dialog has the title 'Import from PDF' I don't change my file listing feature. I checked again - I see the .AI listed when I close the first file. It's not a big deal for me so feel free to leave it open or close it or drop the priority way down. Thanks for reviewing.
I have been able to reproduce this with GTK+ 2.14 on Ubuntu, but not with GTK+ 2.12 on Debian Sid. So this looks like a regression in the GTK+ file-chooser widget. I have added debug code and GIMP is definitely selecting the "All Images" file filter (or whatever file filter was last selected) when it creates the dialog. But somehow GTK+ seems to unset it.
