Bug #: 29912 Summary: No parent button in file selection dialog Product: Wine Version: 1.4-rc1 Platform: x86-64 URL: http://www.winuae.net/files/InstallWinUAE2330.exe OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: markk@clara.co.uk Classification: Unclassified
In some types of file selection dialog, there is no parent button. The equivalent dialog in Windows XP does have a parent button, which makes navigating the directory tree much easier.
If the program opens a selection dialog positioned in a subdirectory, to navigate to the parent you need to use the treeview on the left side to navigate down the directory hierarchy instead.
I noticed this while testing WinUAE, but presumably any program which uses the same type of dialog will be similar. - Download and run the WinUAE installer. Check the box to run the program at the end. - When the WinUAE Properties window appears, click ROM in the treeview then click one of the "..." buttons to show a file selection dialog. There is no parent button in the dialog. (There is also no indication of where in the directory tree the current view is.)
