[Bug 335492] New: Adding local directory as software repository GUI broken
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=335492 Summary: Adding local directory as software repository GUI broken Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: bryeny@mi-tech.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: Customer When adding a local directory as a software repository, and choosing the browse button to graphically select the directory, it goes to /root. There is no way to graphically browse to a directory other than under /root. You can however, manually type in the directory path. But that defeats the whole purpose of browsing graphically. The fix should be to have the gui default to / rather than /root. On a separate note: I noticed that if I launch from terminal: /sbin/yast2 (but not under su), and go through the above steps, the graphical browser defaults to ~/home. Not a showstopper to manually type in the actual path, but what's the point of a gui browser then? :-) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

There is no browser buttons to go higher than /root to /. That's a problem if you have directory other than under /root. You can however, type in the actual path in the Location bar and it works fine that way. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

In my installation I have a "File System" button which takes me to "/". Could you please attach y2logs (http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs/YaST)?

I think the problem may have been that the arrow button is not as intuitive for the super-user as it is for the ordinary user. When an Unix user uses the GTK file dialog as an ordinary user, he can see clearly that the arrow is hiding the rest of the hierarchy because it's well visible only part of the file path is being shown. As a super-user however, it may no longer be noticeable the connection between the arrow to the file path line since it's directly located under root. Either way, hiding the root dir for the root user has no purpose since you're not reducing the file path line anyway, and it's annoying, so I'd get rid of it. Let's see what Gnome guys have to say about this though. Anyway, from the Yast GTK UI, to avoid the issue, "/" will be added to the navigator side bar shortcuts, in case it's not there. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
