[Pythoncard-users] filename in result from saveFileDialog?

[Steve C. <stn...@xm...>]

When I use openFileDialog(), the result returns an absolute path.
However, when I use saveFileDialog(), the result only returns the
filename but not the path.

This is the case in my application as well as the dialog sample 
(samples/dialogs/dialogs.py). 


I'm using Mandrake 10.1, the latest PythonCard from CVS, and the following wxPython:
    wxPython-common-gtk2-unicode-2.5.4.1-mdk101_py2.3
    wxPython2.5-gtk2-unicode-2.5.4.1-mdk101_py2.3

Upgrading to the 2.5.5.1 release of wxPython cleared up the problem with
saveFileDialog (it now returns the absolute path)

But, after upgrading I get error messages from PythonCard apps with
multicolumnlist controls. 

here's the stack trace:

  File "/home/stevec/sandbox/PythonCard/components/multicolumnlist.py", line 502, in _setItems
    self.resizeLastColumn(self.GetColumnWidth(numcols-1))
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/wx-2.5.5-gtk2-unicode/wx/lib/mixins/listctrl.py", line 212, in resizeLastColumn
    self.resizeColumn(self, minWidth)
TypeError: resizeColumn() takes exactly 2 arguments (3 given)



If I comment-out line 502 of PythonCard/components/multicolumnlist.py, things
appear to work OK.


Upgrading to 2.5.5.1 also fixed another intermittent problem I was
having.  (when I set an Image control to a new file, on one set of
images an error dialog would pop-up complaining about large files not
being supported... I can't remember the exact message)

Well, it's 50% fixed. If you supply a default filename to the dialog and
the user simply clicks the OK button to accept the default, you'll find
that result.paths[0] contains something like:

/path/to/some/directory/..

If the user types something in the filename box, then you do indeed get
the absolute path back. Also, this bug only applies to GTK2, i.e. it
works as expected on Windows. Methinks a posting to the wxPython-users
list is in order...

Ahh, excellent. I was seeing this occasionally in an application of
mine.

I've just tried wxPython 2.6, and it looks like that's corrected
