GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 73766
tree view always opens with directories closed
Last modified: 2002-05-30 06:59:39 UTC
The Nautilus 1 tree view remembered what directories you had open last time, and reopened them when the program started again. Also, it always opened the path to the current directory. Neither of these features is implemented in the new tree view yet.
Dave: can you take a look at this? Darin: is this a high-priority regression in your opinion? I'm going to mark it high/minor offhand, but please feel free to change that.
I'm not a heavy tree view user. But for someone who does use it, this is a vital feature. The feature was tricky to implement, because you have to expand the directories as you discover them. You can't expand them all at once because you haven't done the I/O yet.
Marking 1.1.x target milestone per Darin's "how to categorize bugs" note.
Fixed in CVS - pending GtkTreeView fixage, - for now it works erraticaly, seemingly depending on the sort order. JRB has a proto patch to fix the problem, only it causes a slew of other problems.
*** Bug 82884 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
incidentally the problem was just a model signal emission ordering problem, that jrb fixed in nautilus.
