GTK+ Forums

I'm having trouble tracking down the source of this warning:

"Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to retrieve the file info for `file:///home/user/...': Error stating file '/home/user/...': No such file or directory"

I'm using a GtkFileChooserDialog of type GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_SAVE. I've connected to the 'response', 'confirm-overwrite', and 'file-activate' signals before my call to gtk_dialog_run() and this warning insists on coming up before anything else.

I understand how GTK+ could be confused, but I thought GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_SAVE would tell my GtkFileChooserDialog that when a user makes up a new name and starts to save a new file in a Save As dialog, it would understand that there is no file info to stat because the file hasn't been written yet.

Are there other signals I can connect to. I think I need to look deeper into the inner workings of GtkFileChooserDialog. What am I missing?

~Thanks

While I'd still like to know how to debug this warning, I believe I was able to isolate and confirm that it is specific to the particular platform I was working on.

After compiling all my test code on Windows, the warning went away.

This possible bug is in the Gtk2 libraries on Ubuntu 11.10 32-bit. I don't know how to give more precise library version information, but the machine has all the latest package updates.

I don't think you are going to get much help here unless you actually show what you are doing.
Post the code is the best way I guess.
