File Chooser dialog

Hello,
I am having a small problem opening files in Tellico. The file picker dialog 
does not displace *.tc files using the default filter. Only when the filter is 
set to "All Files" or "*.*" can I see a directory's Tellico collections.

I have the same problem why trying to import a file of any type. "All Files" 
must be selected before anything actually appears and can be opened.

I am currently using 2.2.1 on KDE 4.3.4 under Slackware, but the problem 
existed in previous releases of Tellico and KDE. It was compiled locally using 
the script at <http://slackbuilds.org>.

Best, Ben

I think I've been able to cut that time in half if you currently have the 
volume name as the group field on the left. Even better, if the volume name 
hasn't been used to group the fields yet, the time to save the edit should 
be about 100x time faster now. 

I think I coded that part a long time ago, back in my young and ignorant 
days! :)

Re: File Chooser dialog

I'm rather stumped then.  Tellico doesn't do anything special with the file 
chooser, I don't think. And I've not heard of this problem anywhere else. 
I'll check the documentation again.

Bug: Problem with Pictures

Hallo,
I use Tellico 2.1.1 and KDE 4.3.4 (Debian packages) and this is the error message by new entries with pictures.
"Unable to run the command specified. The file or folder
file:///home/markus/Tellico/filehomemarkusTellicoTatort_Bilder0496.jpg does not exist."
The picture path is: file:///home/markus/Tellico/Tatort_Bilder/0496.jpg

Thank you
Markus

Using a linked image?  Sounds like bug 220645. Should be fixed in next 
release.

Diacritics in the filter

Re: File Chooser dialog

That does sound like a symptom of the same problem. Maybe something in the 
Tellico .desktop file or the system cache is messed up? I'm just guessing, 
no real idea.

Sounds reasonable.  I filed it as wishlist bug 222400 so I can remember it. 
If I come across a library or some function that can do that, I'll be sure 
to check it out.

Thanks!

Re: File Chooser dialog

OK, I tracked down the problem in the sources. It will only crop up for those 
of us using the en_GB locale.  The old /po/en_GB/tellico.po contains lines 
like:

msgid "*.tc *.bc|Tellico Files (*.tc)"
msgstr "Tellico Files (*.tc)"

I'm attaching a patch to change all similar lines to:

msgid "*.tc *.bc|Tellico Files (*.tc)"
msgstr "*.tc *.bc|Tellico Files (*.tc)"

I've recompiled and tested. Works fine now!
