Summary: File open/save dialog: notexiststing typed directory: warning not accept Product: Wine Version: CVS Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-gui AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: burnus@gmx.de
One can enter filenames in the file dialog. If one enters in the save dialog "foo" and the directory foo does not exist then - Wine thinks that it can use "foo" as file name & closes the dialog windo - Windows does show a message box: "The folder 'C:\WINDOWS\foo' is not available. It is either on a non-available device, protected by a password, or the filename contains a / or ."
Expected: Do the same as Windows does. Usually it's only a user's typo (like me, when I forgot a ..\ in '....\RuO').
For the open Dialog, Windows does the same, Wine tries to open it as a file and says "File not found". The Windows version is maybe a bit more helpful. (Actually Windows doesn't give the file not found message, it simply stays in the dialog.)
