Re: GtkFileChooser (I figured it out ! - finally)

[Harring Figueiredo <harringf yahoo com>]

  I finally figured it out... if we use any of the responses:

GTK_RESPONSE_ACCEPT
GTK_RESPONSE_OK
GTK_RESPONSE_YES
GTK_RESPONSE_APPLY

   then, the dialog may decide to do something else and not close the dialog:

 From the docs:


 "This is because GtkFileChooserDialog must intercept responses and switch to
folders if appropriate, rather than letting the dialog terminate ? the
implementation uses these known response codes to know which responses can be
blocked if appropriate."

  All I had to do was to come up with my own response ID. 


  The only dark side is this (again, from the docs).

 " To summarize, make sure you use a stock response code when you use
GtkFileChooserDialog to ensure proper operation."
