Hi, I got similar issues when running your codes, also i was trying to produce this 'error' by selecting 'Choose Download Folder:' in Mozilla Firefox's preferences. My system version:
[think...@thinkpad gtk+]$ pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0 glib-2.0 2.18.9 2.22.5 If you try more than a slash like '//' or '///' it's works, it's perfectly legal for naming '///' as root dir. ;p Ardhan --- pwie...@trychlos.org wrote: From: Pierre Wieser <pwie...@trychlos.org> To: gtk-app-devel-list <gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org> Subject: Select root folder in GtkfileChooser Date: Fri, 9 Apr 2010 00:41:52 +0200 (CEST) Hi In Nautilus-Actions, I need to let my users select folders, including root folder ('/'). In a GtkFileChooserDialog, there is obviously no way to select the root folder by clicking on it, because it has no parent. But when I enter "/" in the location entry, and click on Open button, I get the message: "The folder could not be created Error creating directory: File exists." Sample code to reproduce this is below: GtkWidget *dialog; gchar *path; dialog = gtk_file_chooser_dialog_new( _( "Select a folder" ), NULL, GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_SELECT_FOLDER, GTK_STOCK_CANCEL, GTK_RESPONSE_CANCEL, GTK_STOCK_OPEN, GTK_RESPONSE_ACCEPT, NULL ); gtk_file_chooser_set_filename( GTK_FILE_CHOOSER( dialog ), "/" ); if( gtk_dialog_run( GTK_DIALOG( dialog )) == GTK_RESPONSE_ACCEPT ){ path = gtk_file_chooser_get_filename( GTK_FILE_CHOOSER( dialog )); g_debug( "nact_ifolders_tab_on_add_folder_clicked: path=%s", path ); g_free( path ); } gtk_widget_destroy( dialog ); Is this a bug (and so I should open it Bugzilla) ? Or is there something missing in my code ? Thanks in advance for your help.
