kde svn revision 907972

When trying to save a file using an absolute path, for example /tmp/testfile in a kde file dialog, the file doesn't save, the file entry box is cleared and the location of the file view ends up at /tmp.

Trying to open a file in this way works as expected.

Tested with kwrite and kolourpaint.

Here using:

Qt: 4.4.3 + qt-copy-patches-889120
KDE: 4.2.60 (KDE 4.2.60 (KDE 4.3 >= 20090106))
kdelibs svn rev. 908156 / kdebase svn rev. 908156
on ArchLinux x86_64 - Kernel 2.6.27.10

I can confirm this bug.

Comment 3 Daniel Hahler 2009-04-22 21:23:57 UTC

This appears to be a regression, as outlined in bug 183056.
Please also add "Save as" in the bug title, if possible (I have not found the bug until I tried filing a new one).

Proposed patch

The current code splits the absolute path, goes to the "folder" path and leave the "filename" part in the textline. However this is based on a KIO statjob result, and as if you enter a non-existant name (when creating a new file by saving it) it will fail, it wasn't accepting the file name properly.

This patch allows to check for the Saving mode and do the same even when the entered absolute path doesn't exist.
