Version: (using Devel) OS: Linux Installed from: Compiled sources i noticed that when selecting a directory i can't directly write the path below the directory tree as in kde3. I must use the mouse, but when i have lots of directories this is very enervating.
You can click on the "breadcrumb" view to get an edit box.
ok, but it is quite uncomfortable because i have to write the entire path of the directory. should'nt exist a way to get the edit mode starting from where i already went using the mouse?
um... it should start pre-filled with whatever directory you're currently looking at. At least, it does for me... If breadcrumb mode shows, for example: Home > src > kde ...then clicking to get the text edit should give you: /home/<username>/src/kde
sorry, i'm not english and i think i have not explained myself. i'm talking about the dialog used to select a directory for example when you add a folder in desktop settings->slideshow. there is the text edit but if i type a word it goes up in the tree instead of showing the list of folders with the name starting with that word.
Ah, I see, didn't read close enough and was thinking of the (much more common) file dialog. My apologies. So anyway, you just type in the text box, and... wtf? ;-) Yeah. That's clearly broken. I'm changing the description in the hopes that more people will understand what is being talked about (but I don't think mine is much better :-), meh). And I'm confirming this. I can reproduce as follows: - configure desktop, change to slideshow, click 'add folder' button (or anything else with a dir-picker, I assume) - erase whatever is there - start typing a long path I'm able to type the first two levels, but when I start typing the third, it starts deleting things. Specifically: type '/usr' -> ok type '/local' -> ok (is now "/usr/local") type '/' -> ok (is now "/usr/local/") type 's' -> is now "/usr/local"? type 'h' -> is now "/usr"... yike! type 'are/...' -> is now "/usrare/..." (...I was trying to type /usr/local/share, which is a valid path on my machine)
yes, this is what happens on my pc too
SVN commit 884487 by ereslibre: Since both the lineedit and the treeview were connected to the same signals, they were having conflicts between them. The easier way of handling those conflicts is to disable the signal emitting of the treeview while we are editing the url combo box. Also, this dialog needs some love, like adding a splitter.
