Gnome 3.16 file chooser dialog

I have some questions about the file chooser dialog in Gnome 3.16
I see at the gnome site that it states there is now a search button in the file chooser dialog. I see that.
https://help.gnome.org/misc/release-not … re.html.en
However, it used to be possible that when this dialog was open, you could type in the file/directory list to quickly take you to a folder or file. This does not seem to work any more... It still works in Thunderbird for example when attaching a file (different dialog box, I know)
For example, if you had three folders in the open or save dialog of gedit or eog
alpha
bravo
charlie
If you typed "c", it would select the charlie folder.
Was it intentional that this possibility be removed? Does anyone else see what I see?
Thanks

reinstalling dconf-editor fixed that issue for me

  • Default settings for File Chooser dialog

    I reach the file chooser dialog by selecting File-Open File.
    Under the toolbar-options menu in the Open File Dialog, I can select to have a bookmark icon appear on the toolbar.
    How do I set a default to have the Bookmark icon always appear?
    Firefox 11 on openSuSE 12.1

    I don't think so, if I hide the Menu bar I don't see a Bookmarks Menu.
    In this picture http://dl.dropbox.com/u/50261731/Open_File%20Menu%20.png an arrow points to an Options menu button. Select that Button and a list of options opens, one of which is "Show Bookmarks". I would like the Show Bookmarks option to be "ON" by default.
    Be aware that I am running SuSE 12.1 and I believe this Menu is provided by KDE integration "kmozillahelper", so my menu may be different from the default Firefox menu.

  • SMPlayer file open dialog

    I recently made the switch from GNOME to xmonad, and my favorite video player is SMPlayer.  Under GNOME, when I opened a file through SMPlayer, it used the gtk file chooser dialog which I have grown accustomed to, mostly because I can navigate around it with the keyboard.  However, in xmonad it has started using the qt file open dialog.  Whatever package is necessary for the gtk dialog hasn't been uninstalled either because other applications I have installed still use it.  Is there some environment variable or config file that was changed that I can change back to get my preferred file chooser dialog back?
    Let me know if you need any more information.

    While that did noticeably change the theme, it's still using the qt file dialog.  The really strange thing is, I tried installing gnome again just to see if that would fix it, and it's still using the qt dialog in gnome too!  Very odd.

  • JSF component (file-chooser, string feature is only needed).

    For a rapid prototype...
    I'm looking for a file-chooser that uses a JSF component, so I can get the string to the backing bean.
    I do not need to upload a file.
    Whats the easiest way to do this?
    More specifically, I want to be able to push on a button and have the file chooser dialog open, and then have the selection go to the input text component. I also need to bind it to the backing bean. I'm using JSF 2.0 and also have primefaces setup. I tried to mix in tomahawk, but things went crazy.
    Thanks,

  • Need help adding a default file name in a file chooser of save dialog type

    I need to create a file chooser with save dialog type, how can I add a highlighted default file name into the File Name textfield? As in Microsoft Word, when you want to save a document, a default file name Doc1.doc will appear in the File name text field of the file chooser even when you change to other directories.

    For JRE 1.4.0 you can use this fix:
    public class FileChooserFix implements PropertyChangeListener {
      private String fileName;
       * @see PropertyChangeListener
      public void propertyChange(PropertyChangeEvent ev) {
        JFileChooser chooser = (JFileChooser)ev.getSource();
        if (JFileChooser.FILES_ONLY == chooser.getFileSelectionMode()) {
          if (JFileChooser.SELECTED_FILE_CHANGED_PROPERTY.equals(ev.getPropertyName())) {
            File selectedFile = (File)ev.getNewValue();
            if (selectedFile != null) {
              // remember fileName of selected file
              fileName = selectedFile.getName();
          if (fileName != null &&
              JFileChooser.DIRECTORY_CHANGED_PROPERTY.equals(ev.getPropertyName())) {
            // reset selected file
            File directory = (File)ev.getNewValue();
            chooser.setSelectedFile(new File(directory, fileName));
       * Convenience method to create a fixed file chooser.
       * @return      fixed file chooser

        JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
        chooser.addPropertyChangeListener(new FileChooserFix());

  • File Open Dialog Box  on Button Click

    Hi
    I am devloping some webpages using JSF and RichFaces..
    I would like to appear File open Dialog box to choose single file and multiple files and another Folder chooser dialog box to choose the folder content..
    Both the operation should be performed while choosing the Button Choose File and Choose Folder...
    I have already tried Input type = file and aphace tomohawk..
    But i all the components are coming with text box and browse button..
    I dont need that. I need to open the dialog box once i clilck my choose file r folder button and it should work browser indepent.....

    HTML doesn't provide you the possibility to select multiple files or select folders at a single browse. Thus JSF can't do any much for you. Best what you can do is to write a signed applet or web start application which does the task. The Mojarra Scales component library has a ready-to-use component which embeds an applet which does that task. Check [https://scales.dev.java.net/multiFileUpload.html].

  • Prevent File Save Dialog appearing?

    I have been using Excel 2010 to create Word Documents and then use .SaveAs to save the newly created file without any issues
    When I moved to Office 2013 the same code now presents a File Save dialog box.
    I have researched the issue and can find no way to prevent the Dialog appearing (and worse regardless of the user selection the Excel code crashes)
    The following is a simplified version of the troublesome code
    Sub TestWordSaveAs2()
    Dim InvoiceProFormaFileName As Variant
    Dim NewFileName As String
    Dim WordApplication As Object
    Dim WordDoc As Object
      ' Prompt for a word document
      InvoiceProFormaFileName = Application.GetOpenFilename(FileFilter:="Word Documents, *.docx", Title:="Any Word File", MultiSelect:=False)
      Set WordApplication = CreateObject("Word.Application")
      Set WordDoc = WordApplication.Documents.Open(InvoiceProFormaFileName) ' Open the pro-forma invoice
      ' Create a new name
      NewFileName = Replace(InvoiceProFormaFileName, ".docx", "2.docx")
      WordDoc.SaveAs2 Filename:=NewFileName, FileFormat:=16, AddtoRecentFiles:=False ' <======= this line Shows the File Save Dialog and then fails
      WordDoc.Close SaveChanges:=0 ' wdDoNotSaveChanges
      ' Finished with the Word Application so can close
      WordApplication.Quit
    End Sub
    Thank you in advance

    Hi,
    I have create a doc file and a excel file in my pc, after I run the code you have provided ,and choose the doc file I just created, it runs without any save dialog. And My Office is Pro Plus 2013 .
    I have upload my sample to OneDrive, you can download it here:
    http://1drv.ms/1DhnMe5
    When you run this sample, will this show the save dialog again ?
    To narrow down this issue, can you create a new empty word and choose it in the excel, does it will happen again? if it is convenient, can you share the doc file you're using? Have you update your office ?

  • File Save dialog box not showing correct file name while saving file

    hi
    Currently, after the Submit button is hit, the File Save dialog box is displayed. If the user saves the file and then opens it then the output appears correct however if the user chooses to open the file without saving on the local machine then the correct viewer is not used to display the file. The name of the file is defaulted as qotSCopPrint.jsp and the default file viewer for jsp files is chosen to view the file. The format of the file is obviously not text (it is either pdf or rtf) so the output shows binary characters.

    data : v_repid like sy-repid.
    parameters : p_file like rlgrap-filename.

  • How to get a file save dialog box on button click

    Hi All,
    I have  some text  and I want to write this text in to a  file.Then I want to save this file to my local system using a file save dialog box so that I can choose the location where I want to save this file.Please tell me how can I do this in WebDynpro.
    If I cannot get the File save Dialog Box then how can I give the path while creating the new file so that it is created on my local system  as the application is running on server.

  • Windows File Save dialog freezes a virtual folder

    We have a shell namespace  extension that presents a remote document repository as a virtual  folder in the Desktop folder. When the File Save dialog box is opened from  within Adobe Reader or  Acrobat version 9, our  virtual folder appears inactivated. Even though the common dialog box displays  the items in the folder, it is not possible to select any of the items, e.g.,  using a mouse click or key code press.
    Note that the same common  dialog when running in open mode works fine. Our virtual folder is enabled, and  an item can be selected for the Open action. It appears that the problem shows  up only when the Save dialog runs from within Adobe Reader 9 or Acrobat  9.
    The problem appears to be  limited to Windows 7 and Vista. XP does not have the  problem.
    I would like to know  why and how the save dialog gets disabled, and would like to know how  to prevent the dialog from disabling the  virtual folder. 

    Hi,
    I have followed the example you mentioned to save a picture to the folder shortcut, and the name won't change to the shortcut. Also the picture would be saved into the original folder.
    Here is the steps I did:
    1. Create a folder named New folder in My documents:
    2. Select it and then press ctrl + C and right-click on destop choose paste shortcut(named New folder-Shortcut);
    3. Right-click on a picture in one webpage then open the save picture as dialog box;
    4. Navigate to the desktop folder shortcut and double-click into it, the file name field won't change;
    5. My machine is Windows 7 Enterprise SP1.
    Would you please tell some more details on how you saved the picture?
    In addition, there might be some other applications triggered this action, we may take a look with process monitor:
    The download link here:
    Process monitor
    And here is a blog talking about how to use it:
    Process Monitor - Hands-On Labs and Examples
    If possible, please redo the action, then upload the result into onedrive and paste the link here.

  • File Chooser in a Panel - please help

    Hello!
    I am implementing a FTP program as part of an assignment. Can you please tell me how I can get a File Chooser like interface to the files on the remote computer? Can the existing JFileChooser be modified to support this and also can it be embedded in a panel rather than opening in a separate dialog box? Is there any way to get drag and drop support in it?
    Please do help
    Thanks
    Dilip

    Hi!
    Actually, you can use JFileChooser for remote filesystems. I've implemented it once using JDK 1.3.1 (accessing a remote Linux machine over RMI in an applet):
    (1) Create your own subclass of java.io.File, hooking all methods that actually access the filesystem (isDirectory, getSize, ...) to your ftp-connection. (That's the main work, about 50 methods to overwrite, but you can skip many, e.g. createTemporaryFile).
    (2) Make your own subclass of FileSystemView to deliver objects of your File-class instead of Sun's.
    (3) Initialize JFileChooser with this FileSystemView.
    You may also take a look at

  • File Chooser is displaying names of the Files and Directories as boxes

    Hi All,
    Actually i am working on an application in which i have the requirement to internationalize the File Chooser in All Operating Systems. The application is working properly for all languages on MAC OS, but not working properly for the language Telugu on both the Ubuntu and Windows OS. The main problem is, when i try to open the File Chooser after setting the language to TELUGU all the labels and buttons in the File Chooser are properly internationalized but names of Files and directories in the File Chooser are displaying as boxes.
    So please provide your suggestions to me.
    Thanks in Advance

  • Numbers Template Chooser Dialog Tweak?

    In reference to the Numbers Template Chooser Dialog box...
    Does anyone know if there is a way to add your recent files to the "Side-Bar?"
    Here is a picture of the Template Chooser...
    !http://www.flickr.com/photos/18215579@N06/2228019841/!

    Hi RokeyLounge,
    My understanding of Template Chooser is for templates not personal files.
    I think you're wanting when opening Template Chooser to see your files. When Template Chooser opens close it go to File > Open Recent. Or in Preferences have Number open to a blank worksheet then choose File > Open Recent.
    If you'd want them readily accessible create a folder putting your files into it (or alias) then put that folder on the side bar of the Finder.
    I hope I've correctly understood your question.
    Sincerely,
    RicD

  • File download dialog box events and work around

    Hi all,
    I have a amall problem.
    when i set content type and header for downloading a file which is generated from the server i get a "file download dialog box" (open/save/cancel)
    but the problem is i cannot capture the events i.e. if the client clicks 'cancel' since i cannot capture 'cancel' i cannot do some other modifications that need to be done when the file is not downloaded.
    is there any way which i can track if the file is actully downloaded by the client or not??
    Or is there any way i can just by pass this dialog box and get a "save as dialog box" which enables him to choose a location directly download to his hard drive.(In this case i ll get a javascript confirmation before actully creating the file)
    i am using IE6SP1.
    Thanks in advance for your support.

    Just using JSP/HTML/Javascript code I don't think there is a way to do what you want. You might be able to do so using a Java Web Start application - like a download manager.
