Open dialog multiple select not working

[David Barton]

The open dialog in v0.46 (Fedora 8) allows multiple svg docs to be selected; when open is pressed, none of the documents are opened.

I can confirm on WinXP, latest build

In official 0.46 on WinXP using Ctrl won't select multiple files (maybe cos of Native win dialog)

Sorry its the other way around:

on latest build (with win native dialog) Ctrl wont select multiple files, and the selected file is opened.

on official 0.46 (no native win dialog) I can select multiple files but none are opened when I hit Open

Windows native dialogues are not the culprit, since this was first reported on Fedora, and both Linux and Windows releases of 0.46 use GTK dialogues. Windows native dialogues did not make the cut for 0.46.

So it seems that there's a problem in the way GTK dialogues are being used, as Windows 0.46 does exactly what David Barton reports for Fedora. You can select multiple files in the GTK open dialogue, but if you then click Open, nothing at all happens - the dialogue closes and you return to the previous document.

The Windows native dialogues in trunk do not allow multiple file selection at all, and thus don't get even as far as the GTK dialogue. That is a separate issue.

I can also confirm this on Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 with Inkscape 0.46

Not reproduced on Ubuntu 9.10, Inkscape 0.47, libgtk2 2.18.3-1ubuntu2.2.
Selecting multiple files opens all the selected files as expected.

Closing it "Fix Released".
