Package: referencer Version: 1.1.3-4+b2 Severity: normal For my papers and books I sometimes have supporting material, so I want to have a directory instead of a PDF file in the "Document/File" property of that document. It is possible to select a directory in the "Select A File" dialog, although referencer makes it a bit difficult: descent into the directory you want to select, type "." into the "Location" field and press the "Open" button. I can then press the "Save" button in the "Document Properties" dialog, and the next time I double click on the document in referencer nautilus will open the directory (just like I want it). If I open the "Document Properties" dialog again however, the "Document/File" property is reset to "(None)". If I (instead of reopening the "Document Properties" dialog) save the library, exit referencer, restart referencer and open the "Document Properties" dialog of the document in question, the "Document/File" property is _not_ reset. Saving alone without restarting does not prevent the resetting of the property.
I'm not sure what is the intended behaviour here. Basically I can think of
two possibilities:
1) Disallow directories completely. Then the trick I used to set a directory
should not work to prevent surprises later.
2) Allow directories. Then the resetting of the "Document/File" property
should not happen (at least as long as the directory exists). Making it
easier to select directories would be a bonus.
Naturally, I would prefer 2).
Thanks,
Jö.
