GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 655457
Don't set the current folder while saving a file
Last modified: 2021-06-19 08:46:53 UTC
Updated guidelines for writing Save dialogs - Make use of gtk_file_chooser_set_current_name() for File/Save and File/Open and gtk_file_chooser_set_filename() for File/Save As (use above File/Save case for File/Save As on new document). File/Save and File/Open should not use gtk_file_chooser_set_current_folder() to set folders. http://people.gnome.org/~federico/news-2011-07.html#recent-folders
eog, I presume would never have the "new document" or "new file" case, hence File/Save As would always have an existing save path.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/eog/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
