the fact that you noticed this bug means (to me) that you are really giving this file selector a work out. for me, i get that warning everytime i type in a new location to that dialog. like i am working in /home/carol/images and want to save something in /tmp so i type /tmp/image.xcf into the file selector to save time and button pushing madness. what i don't like, and i am finding it difficult to articulate (as you will soon see, perhaps) is that when i am finally have the damn thing in the directory i want to make the save in and i start to type the first few characters, it gives me a list of files that are already named like that. the default response is to give you opportunity to save a different image with the same name. more useful to me would be to be able to save a new image and have the file selector understand that and fill in the first few characters sequentially. what could i call that? like if you made it work with the <tab> so pressing <tab> there would fill in similar characters but would stop before suggesting saving over an existing image. what would that be called? it makes me wonder what the gtk+ developers are doing that they need to save over existing files more often than making new ones. carol _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
