Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: zenity 2.26.0-0ubuntu2
What I'm trying to do:
Use zenity to select a folder AND provide a default folder.
The expected behavior is that when a default folder is provided, the
user can select OK and zenity will exit, printing the default folder
path to stdout.
When Running:
$ zenity --file-selection --directory --filename=$HOME
and selecting OK in the dialog, the following error is rcvd:
"
The folder could not be created
Error creating directory: File exists
"
I also tried the following:
$ zenity --file-selection --directory --filename=$HOME/
(fwd slash added at end)
Selecting OK does nothing...
Note:
If I run any of those commands, select the parent folder, reselect the desired
folder and click OK, zenity does exit while printing the correct path to stdout.
