Description Martin 2008-12-04 16:43:49 CET
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.0.4) Gecko/2008112211 GranParadiso/3.0.4
Build Identifier: Xarchiver 5.2 built from source

I tried the command

xarchiver --multi-extract=...

If run, the extract dialog will pop up without a set extract to directory. I click on the icon to open the dialog to set the directory, but the dialog does not allow me to choose the current directory.

All other directories work fine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run xarchiver --multi-extract=...
2. open dialog to set extract to directory
Actual Results:  
dialog refuses to close as I click [open]

Expected Results:  
best: current directory should already be set
needed: dialog should allow me to set current directory

gtk: 2.14.5

I can't reproduce the bug with gtk 2.12. So if you click the image inside the "Extract to:" field the file chooser dialog doesn't popup?

No, it pops up, but it won't close, if you select the current directory (pwd) and select [open].

Sorry, was rash. Looks like I wrote the steps wrong:

1. run xarchiver --multi-extract=...
2. multi extract dialog opens
3. try to set the directory we want to extract the archives in
4. set it to the current directory (pwd/the directory where we called xarchiver from)
5. hit [open]

and rash again:
3b: do it by clicking the small icon to open the choose directory dialog

...

1. run xarchiver --multi-extract=...
2. multi extract dialog opens
3. try to set the directory we want to extract the archives in
4: do it by clicking the small icon to open the choose directory dialog
5. set it to the current directory (pwd/the directory where we called xarchiver from)
6. hit [open]

Found other applications which have problem with gtk file chooser. Seems to be a problem with gtk2 itself instead of xarchiver.
