Re: [Rosegarden-user] MRU - a couple of things
Hi,
I think I might have found a clue as to why my rg file dialog is
misbehaving. Firstly, I created a new user and then ran rg and
all was fine. So it is something to do with my user config.
I compared the .config/QtProject.conf files of the two users
and there looks to be a problem with mine:
[FileDialog]
history=@Invalid()
lastVisited=file:///blue/midi/rosegarden/covers/q-synth
qtVersion=5.15.2
viewMode=Detail
compared with the new user:
[FileDialog]
history=file:///home/rosy/rosegarden
lastVisited=file:///home/rosy/rosegarden
qtVersion=5.15.2
shortcuts=file:///home/rosy,
file:///home/rosy/.local/share/rosegarden/examples,
file:///home/rosy/.local/share/rosegarden/templates,
file:///home/rosy/Documents, file:///home/rosy/Music,
file:///home/rosy/rosegarden
sidebarWidth=70
treeViewHeader=@ByteArray(\0\0\0\xff\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\x1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\x1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\x1\xec\0\0\0\x4\x1\x1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\x64\xff\xff\xff\xff\0\0\0\x81\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\x4\0\0\0\xff\0\0\0\x1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0?\0\0\0\x1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0@\0\0\0\x1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0n\0\0\0\x1\0\0\0\0\0\0\x3\xe8\0\xff\xff\xff\xff)
viewMode=Detail
I thought this might be caused by a conflict with my rg build directory:
/rosegarden
so I renamed that and deleted all the rg config files in .config/ and
.locale/share/ and replaced
my QtProject.conf with rosy's (changing the username as appropriate) but
this did not fix the
issue and the QtProject.conf file was overwritten with the above contents.
I hope that gives you a clue as to what is going on.
thanks,
Chuck.

Some tests...
What version of Qt are you building against? In rg, go to Help >

The code (FileDialog::getOpenFileName()) is reused in a number of
places. Try File > Import > Import MIDI File... Does this remember
its last path?
Run rosegarden from a command prompt while in an easily identifiable
directory. E.g. switch to /tmp and then run rosegarden:
$ cd /tmp
$ rosegarden
Now do a file open. Does this put you in /tmp?

This is reflected in the [Last_Used_Directories] config file
heading (which seems to contain the right values).
That's the place.
Currently the 'open file' dialogue takes me to my home directory
plus an out-of-date 'Recent' option and also opens in minimised
mode for some reason. I am working with v20.12 and v21.06.
I have never seen anything like this. I can't minimize the
window. And mine always takes me to the last place I was.
I have tried creating a new Rosegarden.conf and looked in vain for
settings to change this. Am I missing something?
Nope. Sounds like bad Qt libraries. The code is super simple for
this. We rely on Qt to do the real work here.
Do "File > Open Example..." and "File > Open Template..." work OK?
It's the same code, but it specifies a hard-coded path. Open
Example... should take you to ~/.local/share/rosegarden/examples.
Open Template... should take you to the same area, but the templates
directory.

Re: [Rosegarden-user] MRU - a couple of things
The only thing that works is 'Save As' which takes me to the path indicated by the [Last_Used_Path] save_file= setting. Examples, Templates and Open all mis-behave in the way I described. Plus - I have this on 2 separate machines - one running 20.12, the other 21.06. (Both Fedora 32). The only other common factor is that they load .rg files from the same automounted, NFS share on a third machine. But this has always worked fine in the past.
