Some of my application’s users declare a strange problem with a particular
widget: GtkFileChooserButton.
I needed to provide a way to select a single folder, so I used the widget
this way:
GtkWidget* button_outfolder = gtk_file_chooser_button_new(_(Select output
folder), GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_SELECT_FOLDER);
output_folder_string =
gtk_file_chooser_get_filename(GTK_FILE_CHOOSER(button_outfolder)); // store
the default value
gtk_widget_set_size_request(button_outfolder, 180, 30);
The problem is that, when the widget is displayed for the first time, it
shows the text “(none)” instead of a default folder’s name. When the user
clicks on it to select a valid path, the entire program crashes with a
segfault (I can’t provide further information right now).
This thing does not happen to everyone: for example, I’ve never seen this
behaviour with my systems (Windows 7/8, 64bit, GTK+ 2.22 and Linux 64bit with
GTK+ 3), but some other users with apparently the same environments are
experiencing it.
I tried to workaround this issue by forcing the default folder at startup
with:
gtk_file_chooser_set_current_folder(GTK_FILE_CHOOSER(button_outfolder), );
Nothing to do, the problem remains for “someone”.
Did anyone ever experience this bug? Is it reported somewhere? Am I doing
something wrong in my code?
Thank you!

Hi,
this worked for me on xp and win7.
if (folder) {
tmp = g_locale_to_utf8((folder), -1, NULL, NULL, NULL);
gtk_file_chooser_set_current_folder(GTK_FILE_CHOOSER(dialog),
tmp);
g_free(tmp);
}
Ciao,
zz
