Dear all:
In Gimp 2.4.7,when I am typing new filename for a image, gimp will pop out some filename suggestion for me,this behavior will block my work when I using tablet pen.

I want to remove this feature of gimp 2.4.7 from source code and recompile it.

Would anybody tell me where and what to remove in source code or give me a patch?

Thank you very much.

Best Regards, Minhsien0330

Dear Dominik Tabisz:
Thanks for your advice.
I tried to run gimp 2.4.7 in terminal.But when the saving dialog was no response to tablet pen, the terminal does not show any error message.

The reasons I want to remove the filename suggesting behavior of Saving dialog from source code are:
1. When I type filename with the pen, the popout will bother me to use the virtual keyboard on screen.
2. I GUESS this " filename suggesting behavior" MAY make the Saving dialog has no response to the tablet pen.

Does anybody know how to remove it from the source code? Thank you.

Best Regard,
Minhsien0330

i've encountered similar problem in GIMP 2.6 while saving however i cannot replicate it.
In my case it was probably something depending on GTK/Xorg. If You're able to replicate this behavior try to 1) open terminal
2) run GIMP in this terminal
3) Replicate this behaviour
4) Look at the error messages in the terminal. This error messages might give some information what exactly is failing

Dear Liam R E Quin:

Thanks for your reply, although I still don't know how to remove it from source code. :)

I upload 2 files from the source code in gimp 2.4.7 that may be related with this function.
Does anybody know where is this function? Thank you very much~

Best Regards, Minhsien0330.

You may want to drag the save-as window so it's under the virtual keyboard on the screen, with the virtual keyboard at the top of the screen, if that's possible.

dialog

has no response to the tablet pen.

Please don't guess :-) Does it have that effect or not? if it does, please report a bug against the gtk+ library or the GNU/Linux distribution you are using. Note that gimp 2.4.7 is fairly old now.

I think you'd need to compile your own libgtk+2 but I'm not sure; I don't see anything obvious in the gtkfilechooser API to disable that behaviour.

A workaround is to put a character such as Q at the start of the filename until you've finished and then remove the Q at the end, but this has the disadvantage that sometimes you'll forget to remove the Q... or I would at least.
