Package: xdialog
Version: 2.2.1-1
It is impossible to select hidden directories in the "dselect" window.
There should be a clickable option in that window stating something like
"Show hidden directories".
The file /usr/share/doc/xdialog/html/faq.html#Q08 says that one should type a
"." into the text entry field and then press the TAB key to show the hidden
directories in the selector list. But that is not true. There is no text
entry field and pressing the TAB key doesn't make the hidden directories
to show up.
That file also tells that appending ".*" to the default directory name into
the Xdialog command line, makes all the hidden directory names (and only
them) to appear into the dselect widgets when poped up. E.g.:
Xdialog --dselect "/home/foo/.*" 0 0
But that is also not true. Appending ".*" to the default directory name into
the Xdialog command line has no effect.
The best thing to correct this would be a clickable option in that dselect
window stating something like "Show hidden directories". It would be much
more intuitive than the old and misterious method of typing a "." into the
text entry field and then pressing the TAB key.
That help file, /usr/share/doc/xdialog/html/, should be updated in order to
correctly reflect the new situation.
I am using Debian testing GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.8.1-kanotix-10, libgtk1.2
1.2.10-17, libgtk2.0-0 2.8.20-1 and libc6 2.3.6.ds1-4.
Thanks in advance,
Rugart Fertsch
