Title:
For applications using simplified save dialogues, selecting a
destionation through "Other..." saves to /HOME directory
Status in “gtk+2.0” package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in “gtk+3.0” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Certain applications, like DeVeDe or Openshot, use a simplified save
dialogue box. From these simplified lists, the user is presented with
some default directories to save in (Video, Desktop, Home, etc).
Selecting any of these destinations from this menu works as expected.
However, if the user wishes to save to some other location besides the
ones suggested, they must click on "Other..." which displays the full,
normal save dialogue. When this is used, it does not matter which
directory the user chooses - the application will save to the /HOME
directory.
I have tested this using DeVeDe on Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit (fresh install)
and 12.10 32-bit (upgrade install). This *is not* a bug with DeVeDe,
but it was the first application I found that was using the simplified
save dialogue (and I also was able to reproduce this using Openshot,
which does the same thing). If the application uses the normal save
dialogue box, everything works as expected.
Please help me provide the information needed for this bug report. I
do not know what package to file this against, or what other
information that needs to be attached. It would also be helpful if
someone can reproduce this. I have not filed a bug report because I
did not know what to attach or what package to file against. Any help
would be greatly appreciated.
Here is a video demonstrating the problem using DeVeDe. I tell DeVeDe
to export a video to my Desktop from the defaults menu, which works as
expected. I then tell it to save it to my Desktop, but using the
"Other..." menu. I would expect it to say that there's a file already
there with the same name, and offer to overwrite it. Instead, it saves
the file to my /Home directory.
