For a long time I am experiencing weird problem when trying to choose file from File->Open_File or when I want to change "download action/helper application" in the preferences. The problem is that GTK file chooser does not list all files in the selected directory. Check it out here: http://daemon.nanophys.kth.se/~kono/buggy_file_chooser.png So some GTK library want to convince me that in /usr/X11R6/bin folder there are only three files? there are 539! I tried to right-click and activate hidden files in the chooser, tried from the root account, no luck. Any suggestions? This problem I have on both i386 and amd64 platforms with FreeBSD 5.5 and 6.1. Some time ago linux-Firefox was without this ugly GTK file chooser, is there any possibility to install/build linux-firefox with another (old) file chooser? Or it is as hopeless as to decide which linux distribution to install? Currently I don't use freebsd natively build firefox because it's unstable. /Alexander Konovalenko +46-8-5537-8142 (office) +46-7-3752-2116 http://daemon.nanophys.kth.se/~kono Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) Nanostructure Physics Department, Albanova Roslagstullsbacken 21 10691 Stockholm Sweden From owner-freebsd-mozilla@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Aug 15 15:42:13 2006 Return-Path: X-Original-To: freebsd-mozilla@freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-mozilla@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0448916A4DE; Tue, 15 Aug 2006 15:42:13 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from Alexander@Leidinger.net) Received: from www.ebusiness-leidinger.de (jojo.ms-net.de [84.16.236.246]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 557E643D70; Tue, 15 Aug 2006 15:42:12 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from Alexander@Leidinger.net) Received: from Andro-Beta.Leidinger.net (p54A5F490.dip.t-dialin.net [84.165.244.144]) (authenticated bits=0) by www.ebusiness-leidinger.de (8.13.6/8.13.6) with ESMTP id k7FFPum7075559; Tue, 15 Aug 2006 17:25:57 +0200 (CEST) (envelope-from Alexander@Leidinger.net) Received: from Magellan.Leidinger.net (Magellan.Leidinger.net [192.168.1.1]) by Andro-Beta.Leidinger.net (8.13.4/8.13.3) with ESMTP id k7FFgFjr064368; Tue, 15 Aug 2006 17:42:15 +0200 (CEST) (envelope-from Alexander@Leidinger.net) Date: Tue, 15 Aug 2006 17:44:14 +0200 From: Alexander Leidinger To: kono@kth.se Message-ID: <20060815174414.6baebaf2@Magellan.Leidinger.net> In-Reply-To: <200608151647.32496.kono@kth.se> References: <200608151647.32496.kono@kth.se> X-Mailer: Sylpheed-Claws 2.4.0 (GTK+ 2.8.20; i386-portbld-freebsd7.0) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Virus-Scanned: by amavisd-new Cc: freebsd-mozilla@freebsd.org, freebsd-ports@freebsd.org Subject: Re: gtk file chooser weirdness in linux-firefox X-BeenThere: freebsd-mozilla@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Mozilla browser issues List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 15 Aug 2006 15:42:13 -0000 Quoting Alexander Konovalenko (Tue, 15 Aug 2006 16:47:31 +0200): > > Hi! > > For a long time I am experiencing weird problem when trying to choose file > from File->Open_File or when I want to change "download action/helper > application" in the preferences.

So firefox merely lists > contents of /compat/linux/usr/X11R6, not /usr/X11R6. ok, you are right, but in /usr/compat/linux there is no home folder for example, however file chooser of linux-firefox shows it together with other folders from FreeBSD root folder. Isn't it weird to mix folders from /usr/compat/linux and / ? Is there any configuration of this? And how to jump to the real / folder from linux-app file chooser (currently I just created a soft link to it)?

Without it it it either couldn't find the linux libs, or you aren't able to access your files with the native path. If you need to access a file which isn't visible, you just have to type in the full name. This way you aren't able to access a file which is also available with different content but the same name in /compat/linux, and you aren't able to browse with the mouse, but you can at least access it. > And how to jump to the real / folder from linux-app file chooser (currently I > just created a soft link to it)?
