[issue18877] tkinter askopenfilenames does not work in Windows library folder

[AJNeufeld]

AJNeufeld added the comment:

I'd like this issue to be reopened.  It does not appear resolved.  It is 
different from the wantobjects=False issue.

Windows 7 has 'libraries' which are folders containing the contents of more 
than one folder.  For instance, on my computer
   > Libraries > Documents
presents the contents of the following 2 folders simultaneously:
   C:\Users\aneufeld\Documents
   C:\Users\Public\Documents

If you execute the script listed in the original bug report, press the [File 
Open] button, press "Libraries" from the left bar, double click "Documents" in 
the main area, and select one or more *FILES* in the displayed list of files, I 
get back:
   ('',)

On the other hand, if I press "Computer" on the left bar, and navigate through 
"C:", "Users", "aneufeld", "My Documents", and select the SAME FILES, I get 
back:
   ('C:/Users/aneufeld/Documents/timelog.txt', 
'C:/Users/aneufeld/Documents/notes.txt')

>From the "> Libraries > Documents" folder, if you navigate into any real 
>folder, the problem goes away.  For example, with the folder ATS in My 
>Documents, press the [File Open] button, press "Libraries" from the left bar, 
>double click "Documents" in the main area, double click ATS, and select the 
>two files, I get:
   ('C:/Users/aneufeld/Documents/ATS/readme.txt', 
'C:/Users/aneufeld/Documents/ATS/Changes.txt')

The issue is, when the file "Foo.txt" is selected in a Library folder, such as 
"Documents", the dialog does not know if that file should be:
   C:/Users/aneufeld/Documents/Foo.txt
or
   C:/Users/Public/Documents/Foo.txt
and returns a null string for the filename.

I guess tkinter.wantobjects is 0 for you?

Terry J. Reedy added the comment:

There was a issue about people not being able to open windows 'library' files 
from Idle, but it was determined not to be an Idle problem. I cannot find it 
now. The outcome may have been that this was presumed to be a tk bug, but your 
report about the alternate dialog is interesting. it.

[issue18877] tkinter askopenfilenames does not work in Windows library folder

[tegavu]

New submission from tegavu:

Using Python 3.3 on W7x64 I wanted to create a file dialog that allows me to 
select multiple files.
The code below is an example of how to re-create the bug.

# -*- coding: iso-8859-15 -*-
# Python 3

import tkinter 
import tkinter.filedialog  

def callback():
name = tkinter.filedialog.askopenfilenames() 
print(name)
 
tkinter.Button(text='File Open', command=callback).pack()
tkinter.mainloop()


-
THE PROBLEM:
When selecting any file in the windows library\* folders (those: 
http://beingpc.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/How-to-Change-the-Windows-7-Library-Icon.jpg
 ) the return value that will be printed is always {}.
tkinter.filedialog.askopenfilename() (without the 's') works fine also in those 
directories.

Can anyone reproduce this behavior?
