When I put the cursor on a subdirectory and press Enter, I expect the panel to display the subdirectory contents. Instead, the panel saves the file immediately, under the directory.
The panel works properly when I use the mouse and click on the subdirectory.
In Opera, however, there is an additional problem: The file is saved under the name in the title of the web page, and the name I enter in the file-save panel is ignored.
Charles,
For Opera try:
(1) enter 'opera:config' in the url bar (address bar) (2) scroll down ~1/2 page to "File Selector" (3) enter '2' in the 'Dialog Toolkit' field.
Currently I have opera 10.10 x86_64, 2.6.25.20-0.7-default. I don't recall if this was a suse package or the one downloaded from the opera ftp site. Either way, I think you can safely select 2 and restore your dialogs. You may need to restart opera for it to take effect.
For firefox, I'm not sure what the issue is. You can browse through firefox's 'about:config' filtering on 'file' then try 'save' then 'dialog' to see if you can turn up a similar setting. If not, maybe Wolfgang will chime in and pass along the trick.
If you want to check the opera site for a qt enabled 10.10, the visit ftp://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/linux and select 10.10. You may want the qt3 version depending what your qt configuration is.
Thanks for the suggestion, David. Option 2 works! No opera restart is needed. I tried all of the other options and found that none of them work properly. This seems like a serious bug: Files get saved, not only in the wrong directory, but also under the wrong name! I pursued your suggestion pertaining to firefox, but found no way to change the file-selection dialogue. I found the firefox about:config options are documented here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/About%3Aconfig http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config_entries The opera config options are documented here: http://www.opera.com/support/usingopera/operaini/#file_selector File dialog toolkit 0 = Autodetect toolkit to use for file selector 1 = Use Qt for file selector 2 = Use GTK for file selector 3 = Use KDE for file selector So autodetect, Qt and KDE are all broken! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
