Subject: alacarte: file chooser for new entry does not accept input

Date: Mon, 20 Mar 2006 20:27:31 +0100

Package: alacarte
Version: 0.8-3
Severity: normal


On selecting File -> New Entry the appropriate data entry
dialog opens. However the Browse button within spawns a file
chooser that wont accept mouse clicks or react at all. Alacarte
has to be killed.

The Browse button is fine in the Edit Entry dialog.

Thanks

C.

Hi Christian,

Thanks for your bug report, i can reproduce that. By the way,
you could just close Alacarte, the only window that hangs is the
file chooser one.

I'll take a look what's going on with this part of the code.

Thanks,

I noticed this bug and it's easy to work it around.

Once you open the file browser, close the New Entry dialog behind it. It seems the parent dialog is modally blocking the file browser. Go figure. The good thing is that now you can pick your file. But, you say, the New Entry dialog is gone. Indeed, but if you open it again from the menu, just as before, it will spawn with the file entry as per your last selection in the file browser.

Just a workaround, I know.

Hi Daniele,

I'll be uploading a new alacarte release soon, once some bits of GNOME
2.16 enter sid (our development branch), if not i'll just backport the
bug fixes and upload a new 0.8 for Etch. Btw, Javier Kohen described a
workaround in the bug report page[0] could you try?

That would be great, thanks.

That workaround seems to work just fine.

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello. I've run alacarte from the terminal and I've found the following
errors when I try to browse for a file:

justin@justin:~$ alacarte
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.4/Alacarte/GnomeFront.py", line 339,

line 166, in checkResponse
   self.showError(entryDialog, _('A command is required.'))
NameError: global name '_' is not defined

I don't think anyone mentioned this before.
