Description Sense Hofstede 2010-04-22 16:00:32 UTC 
When you're browsing the folder you want to export to in the Nautilus Actions Configuration Tool's export assistant you can't select it as the directory to export to.
Instead you have to go to the directory a level up and select the directory you want to export to there. 

You should be able to select a directory when you're inside it, but haven't selected anything it contains.

This bug was originally reported by Steffen Goetz on Launchpad in Ubuntu at <https://launchpad.net/bugs/568014>.

Yes, in order to select a directory, you have to go to the parent, and then select your target which happens to be one of the children.

As far as I know, I really only use standard GtkFileChooser widget.

Do you have any example of an application which uses this same widget and has another behavior ?
Comment 2 Sense Hofstede 2010-04-23 12:17:06 UTC 
I can't name an application in C on the spot, but I have heard that F-Spot has had a similar issue and fixed it.
Comment 3 Pierre Wieser 2010-12-01 22:24:59 UTC 
Fixed in master as #cb2a9a2ad877c3a3dca6c4866a774d041189c50b.
