Software :: GTK File Chooser Dialog Box Side Panel Behavior
May 10, 2011
In both Slackware 12.2 (gtk 2.12.12) and Slackware 13.1 (gtk 2.18.9), the left-hand side panel of the GTK file chooser (File Open and Save) dialog box displays three sections. The first section contains two options: Search and Recently Used. The second section contains several options. The third section are personal bookmarks I have created and stored in $HOME/.gtk-bookmarks.
Modifying the bookmarks section is straightforward, but I am searching for ways to modify the first and second sections.
1. In both 12.2 and 13.1, the second section shows the following: $HOME directory, Desktop, File System. In 13.1, several mount points now appear. I think the criterion being used is the mount point being outside the main root tree. Several of these mount points are configured in fstab with the noauto option and are user mounted only as necessary. I do not want any of these volumes appearing in that section nor the Desktop option. Is there a way to exclude those volumes and options?
2. In that same second section are two mounted volumes from a second internal drive. Those two partitions are part of my bookmarks. In 12.2 those two partitions appeared in the bookmarks section. In 13.1 those two bookmarks are ignored and instead appear in the second section. I prefer those two points appear in my bookmarks section because I prefer my own labels rather than mount point names. Is there a way to do that?
3. Is there an option in $HOME/.config/gtk-2.0/filechooser.ini to control the width of the side panel?

I have used synaptic to install the panel applet called "timer-applet." After installing with synaptic, the applet will not appear in the "Add to Panel" dialog box that appears after right-clicking on the panel. How can I fix this?

I was wondering if anyone knew a way to enable 'intellihide' behavior for the xfce4 panel. That is, is it possible to autohide the panel only when a window is covering it, as is possible with most docks?

I'm sure this is just a simple configuration issue, but not sure what to configure:
When I try to open a file from within an application (eg Open Office) and I choose "Open", a file browser pops up that allows navigation of the file system. Rather annoyingly, it shows all the dot files (and directories). There was a time when it did not, and I'm not sure what changed to make it do this.
Where do I configure this behaviour? I don't know what the file browsing thing is called. If I get a listing from ps before and after calling up the file opening tool, there is nothing extra showing.

There are these shortcuts in the GTK3 file chooser: [URL] ....
With the exception of "desktop" which I included in the red box by mistake, I don't want those shorcuts to be there. I've even deleted most of those folders from my home directory because I have no use for them, but the shortcuts remain even after the folders are gone.
How to remove/disable these shortcuts? And while I'm at it, I notice that it's not using my selected icon theme for those icons. Any way to make it use my choice of icon theme?

Actually i am working on an application in which i want to select the files from a File Chooser where the application language is set to Telugu. But when i want to view the files through the File Chooser, all the names of the files in the system are displaying as boxes. This problem occurs only when i change the language to Telugu.This problem doesn't appear with any other languages. So please direct me towards the solution for this problem.

I installed Ubuntu 11.04 on my laptop and was looking to do the same onto my desktop.However, when I installed the 11.04 download and put it onto a disk and booted my Desktop from the disk, I went into try and the side panel that is on my laptop isn't on this one. It has the Applications, Places and System menus on the top as it was in 10.10.Is this just in the try version side of things, or how can i change it to the new side panel.....thing?

Is there any chance to remove side panel of shotwell and have an appearance like somehow F-Spot or is there any other programs that have same appearance like F-Spot. F-Spot seems good to me but it's lacking of sorting is a bit annoying.

I installed 11.04 64 bit on my Acer Extensa 4420 the other day. It was running 10.04 32bit before. When it booted up the first time it said that it had some video issue and would boot in classic mode. I rebooted and selected the regular Ubuntu and it came up with the side panel buttons. This morning it boots into classic mode and I can't seem to get it back to the regular mode with the side panel buttons! What could be wrong with video settings? When I first ran 11.04 live it came up with the side panel and didn't ask to install any video drivers.

I have Compiz and two panels - one at the bottom and on the side. Before running Compiz, both of them become visible on mouse hover. After Compiz starts, the one on the side would not show. I have no idea what is causing it. Could it be the cube?

When I upgraded to 11.04, Ubuntu classic works fine. However, when I log into the Unity Ubuntu, all that shows up is the background, and Desktop Items. No task bar at the top (containing the time, shutdown etc) or side panel bar, with the shortcut items. Now, while I was using 10.10, I installed 11.04 as a clean install on a different partition of my laptop. Therefore I have the system requirements. However, the upgraded 11.04 causes Unity issues.

I have 2 drives formatted NTFS, which I'm mounting with /etc/fstab to ~/Movies/ and ~/Music/ and an EXT4 partition on my primary drive for games, mounted to ~/Roms/ and I would like for these drives to NOT show up in the side panel of nautilus.
I've been doing some looking around, and what I've found so far is that supposedly if you mount a partition/drive somewhere besides /media/ nautilus will ignore it. I'm finding this not to be the case, and it's driving me bonkers. here's my fstab:
Code:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier
# for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name
# devices that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
[Code]...

My gnome-panel is at the left side of my screen (I use the 'splendid' cairo-dock at the bottom of my screen). But when more than eight windows are open, the dock freezes. The 'Computer' button works, as well as the tray icons. My CPU rushes to 26% constantly. Solution is to kill gnome-panel and it reappears without complaining (if few than 8 windows open).

I've tried some more recent builds of Libre Office from Alien Bob and I'm still getting crashes when I try to dock the Navigator panel on the left side of the window for any of the office applications.
Details are in this post. More specifically, I'm running libreoffice-3.2.99.3-i486 from Eric. When I run 'oowriter' (Libreoffice Writer) from the command line, and then try to dock the navigator panel, I get this message after the crash:
Code:
Gtk-Message: (for origin information, set GTK_DEBUG): failed to
retrieve property `GtkOptionMenu::indicator-size' of type
`GtkRequisition' from rc file value "0" of type `glong'
Gtk-Message: (for origin information, set GTK_DEBUG): failed to
retrieve property `GtkOptionMenu::indicator-spacing' of type
`GtkBorder' from rc file value "0" of type `glong'
I don't know if it happens with the 64-bit version or not. I haven't tried it yet. I'm no stranger to submitting bug reports, but I haven't looked closely at Libreoffice's bug submitting procedures. I'll do that soon.

I have an application for loading data into MySQL table using php, through excel-Reader. php is set up on the localhost and the web-page is available from: [url]
The code of xlr2.php:
When I open the page, I get the message to choose a file with the file-dialog box and the notice as:
Notice: Undefined index: action in /var/www/html/xlr/xlr2.php on line 10
Default Action:
Choose a file to Load into MySQL:
Why so? I am selecting file from ("/home/lx/myDocuments/tech/excel/smslist.xls"), but the warning says that [failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/html/xlr/xlr2.php on line 33]. A different directory than I selected.

I am quite confused about the following description on fork. Could you please explain it ?The child process shall have its own copy of the parent's file descriptors. Each of the child's file descriptors shall refer to the same open file description with the corresponding file descriptor of the parent.For example, I am opening a socket and then fork. Now, does the child have a separate socket or is shares it with the parent. Does I have any impact on using it in child?

why sadc (a front end for sar data collection) would append a "?" to the output file when run from cron? And more particularly, how should I correct it? I have a RHEL 5.4 system which is doing this.e.g./usr/lib64/sa/sadc -d 10 6 /tmp/test produces output file /tmp/test when run from the command line but when run from cron the file produced is called "/tmp/test?"
Normal system logging with sysstat, which uses the same sadc command (with a couple of other options, and none of the options -d, -F, -L affect this behaviour), produces output files /var/log/sa/sadd where "dd" is the day of the month. There does not seem to be any control over this within the sysstat start-up scripts, other than use of option "-" to generate standard output files, so I expect that the dd is being done within the code. Is this associated with the "?" ?.Whatever is going on, the appended query seems to get added to everything as it still happens if I make the output file /tmp/test_$(/bin/date +\%d).Is this a bug or am I missing something fundamental about cron?

On both my 32-bit laptop (openSUSE 11.3) and my 64-bit desktop (openSUSE 11.2) I have been unable to find out how to prevent seeing all the "hidden files" when opening files in many applications, including (for example) GIMP, Xournal, OpenOffice, gedit.In the Control Centre "File management" options "Show hidden and backup files" is NOT checked in "File Management Preferences.

Is it possible to do the following in C/C++ in Linux:Without direct linking (my program should NOT depend on Qt or GTK), display a GTK or Qt based file dialog.The behaviour should be something like this when my program runs, when you want to open a file:The program scans whether you have Qt installed. If so, it somehow manages to link itself to Qt (e.g. dynamically loading the .so file) and display its file dialog and get the path from it. If Qt wasn't found, it tries the same with GTK. If that also wasn't found, it displays a less powerful replacement dialog instead (better than nothing).
Or is there any other simple way in Linux to get a standard file dialog somehow (similar to when compiling for Windows you can very easily get its standard file dialog, no matter what version of Windows, in your code, even if your program doesn't use any other Windows GUI at all).

Whenever, I successfully save a new document, the document's icon does not display in the KDE File Dialog until OpenOffice restarts. The document exists, because trying to do a "Save As" on it produces a dialog that states if one wants to overwrite the document. Also, trying to export a PDF twice has the same outcome.
OpenOffice 3.2.1
scim 1.4.7-174.1
KDE 4.4.4
openSUSE 11.3 64-bit

I suspect this is a Gnome 3 problem and not a Fedora problem, but I have no way to separate the two here. I cannot upload an image from my computer to Weebly or to Google Plus, but strangely enough, I can upload one to Picasa. The sequence of actions goes something like this:
1. Open Weebly editing interface, add a picture element, click on the element to edit/add a picture. It then gives you a choice: from your local computer, from the web, etc.
2. Click on 'from local computer' and my computer opens the Open File Dialog Window.I am guessing that is its name, it is the same window you get when opening a file in any other application, like Gedit or LibreOffice.
3. Navigate to the image I want to upload and double click on it or select 'Open'.
4. Nothing happens.
I am able to upload images from my laptop, running Linux Mint 11 with Gnome 2.
It sounds to me like the Open File Window is not passing on the necessary information to the browser. I have no idea why it works in Picasa and not in Google+ or Weebly.
I don't really expect anyone to have a solution just yet, but I wanted to mention it somewhere, and I didn't see any Gnome.org forums. On the other hand, if someone does have a solution, great.
This is by no means a knock on Gnome 3, it is fine with me and I Iike it a lot more than I thought I would.

Whenever I edit a spreadsheet in Gnumeric, I have to have an argument about saving the edited version. First, it says it wants to save it in Gnumeric's XML format instead of whatever format I opened it in, and then I get a dialog warning me the file already exists,is it OK to overwrite it? All my spreadsheets are either .odt or .csv. I just want to be able to open, edit and save without an argument every time. It's like telling a child that it's bed time and having the same argument every night, and it's getting on my nerves.Is there a setting where I can get gnumeric to obediently save the edited version, or do I just have to put up with the slower opening times of LibreOffice instead?

I recently installed Deluge 1.2.0 from the following PPA:[URL]I using this on two different Linux computers. One is running Linux Mint 8 and the other is running Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.10. The first time on either computer when I enable WebUI in the Deluge GUI it works fine. However if I ever disable it in plugins section I am subsequently unable to re-enable it (doesn't appear in the side panel again). Rebooting or reinstalling Deluge seems to have no effect.Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

I have changed the preference in the Nautilus file manager/browser to "Single click to activate items" and it works.
However, when I run an application, say Totem Movie Player, and select Movie/Open I am presented with a Nautilus like file navigation dialog. This is a common dialog to most Gnome applications - probably part of Gnome. Problem is, the dialog does not respect my "single click..." preference.
I have tested this in Ubuntu 9.10, 10.04 alpha 2 and CentOS 5.4 - I do not think it is distribution related.
