Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Thunar 2. In the location bar, type and adress starting by ./ Actual Results: The items proposed to complete the adress are from /home/MyUserName/. Expected Results: They should be from the current directory as when doing this in a terminal.
Created attachment 2024 Patch to make ./ expand to the current directory of the Thunar window Personally, I consider this more of a feature request than an actual bug report, but I don't have a strong opinion on how we call it. It requires quite a lot of changes in both Thunar and thunar-vfs to make this work (see the attached patch), so I'd rather wait with implementing it until 1.0 has been released.
I agree.
Fixed in master, will be part of Thunar 1.2. commit cd913e51a2611e847a3dbff048195a22670bed49 Author: Jannis Pohlmann <jannis@xfce.org> Date: Sat Nov 13 16:40:17 2010 +0100 Expand paths with ./ based on the current working directory (bug #3451). This involves a number of changes but it's an existing bug that was reported first in 2007. Paths starting with '.' or './' are now resolved based on the current working directory.
