Description of problem: With Fedora 13, the file picker functionality offered for the "+" function seems to be having problems. It is now DIFFERENT from the file picker that you get when, for example, you do Project->SaveAs, or a Project->Open File. The new file picker is missing the "Places" list of directories in a column on the left. This is really annoying because it means that I have to tree down from my home directory into the sub-sub-sub directory that contains the files I want to add. Also, the <CTRL> click functionality has a problem. Formerly <CTRL> click on a file name would either add the file to the list, or remove it, if it was already on the list to add. Now, if the file is already on the list, not only is the list item added, but somehow the file picker decides that I hit the Add button too, and all the files are added whether I want them or not. Then I get to inconveniently tree down, down, down, to my files again. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): brasero-2.30.1-3.fc13 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Issue the + command. 2. Select some items. 3. De-select an item with <CTRL> click. Actual results: Missing Places sub-window. Inappropriate submission of the list before I'm ready to actually hit the Add button and act on my selections. Expected results: Places sub-window present where it used to be, and where it is on the Open and SaveAs commands. No action on <CTRL> click on a de-select beyond the de-select behavior. Additional info:
Having received no response to this bug report, but still interested in being helpful, I opened a bug upstream at GNOME.org: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=622968 Philippe Rouquier replied that the behaviors I report have been fixed in upstream version 2.30.2. I've downloaded the upstream 2.30.2, and am in the process of remembering how to rpmbuild a new Fedora package out of the revised upstream source. (I see there are docs on the Wiki, so I should eventually suss it out.) I'll reply here with my results.
Sorry for the delay, but I finally did a test build. Surprisingly 2.30.2 has exactly the same mis-behavior I reported. Sanity checks: I built with http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/GNOME/sources/brasero/2.30/brasero-2.30.2.tar.bz2 The menu command, Help -> About pops up a window that says: Brasero 2.30.2 But when I issue the "+" command, still the Places pane is missing. Ctrl/<mouse left> on an already selected item still exits the file picker. Why do you think this might be?
The Missing "Places" pane problem has been resolved with a proper installation of 2.30.2. (In my testing I forgot to install the brasero-lib RPM in addition to the brasero RPM. IMPORTANT: For the fix to be effective, the file .config/brasero/application-settings must be moved aside so that a new value for stock-file-chooser-percent can be set. Otherwise the Places pane STILL does not show up. The CTRL/Left Mouse Button mis-behavior is now being tracked in BZ 630113
