20:08 federico> also, how/where are you using it to test for existence of a file?
20:08 neo> rockwlrs: here's a PDF for you: http://www.cwic-solutions.co.uk/docs/cbook1_0a.pdf
20:09 neo> rockwlrs: 1616 pages
20:09 neo> federico: we look at the return value
20:09 neo> federico: the API docs are pretty clear that this is supposed to do the trick
20:10 neo> federico: we do that in order to find out if we need to display an overwrite confirmation dialog

20:11 federico> oh
20:11 neo> federico: in cvs only, not in a released stable version
20:12 federico> so we have two bugs
20:12 federico> 1. wrong docs
20:12 neo> federico: we are facing the problem of not using gnome-vfs in the core but still wanting to use the file-chooser in !local-only mode
20:12 federico> 2. #152850
20:12 neo> federico: what is wrong about the docs?
20:13 federico> neo: the docs for that function are unclear - they should really explain the funny non-sync nature of that function
20:13 neo> federico: I see
20:14 federico> with the current implementation:
20:15 neo> too bad that mitch is gone already

20:17 federico> so "false" is accurate in that the file is not selected - there's no parent path, or the parent path does not exist
20:17 federico> but "true" is not accurate at all
20:18 federico> it can mean "I'll start loading the parent folder, but I won't tell you if the selection succeeds", or "I already have the folder, but the file doesn't exist in it"
20:19 federico> a) show_and_select_paths() doesn't pay attention to the return value from _gtk_file_system_model_path_do()
20:19 federico> b) I'm not sure if the return value from the latter is actually meaningful
20:20 federico> hmm, it seems to be
20:20 frb> crap, I lost the command to toggle the movement style of the stylus
20:20 neo> I am sorry but I have to leave now as well
20:21 frb> xsetinput or something, but that's not it
20:21 neo> federico: I think it boils down to the fact that we are abusing this function
20:21 frb> ah, xsetwacom?
20:21 neo> anyway, thanks for looking at this
