I'm not using firefox 1.5 at the moment, but I think right_click-> Show Hidden Files.Proton wrote:Hi!
I installed Firefox a few days ago and was disappointed that they switched to the Gnome file selector. Not to complain, but I really find the thing unusable (is there even a way to get inside a hidden folder, for instance?).
Have you tried that hint from forums.mozillazine.org?Proton wrote:So I was wondering, does anone know about any patch I can apply to Gnome or Firefox to get a normal, usable file selector, like the one in KDE, the one in Windows or even the one in old versions of Gnome?
Really? I've tried several times without success.Proton wrote:Alright! That's great! Thanks volkmar!
I can't see a path to /tmp/whatevervolkmar wrote:Also the *snip* part in //@line 278 and //@line 280 is a path pointing to /tmp/portage/mozilla-firefox-1.5/something.
But after cleaning portage temp directory these parts don't exist.
Do I have to recompile Firefox before to create that content in portage tmp directory?
Code: Select all
compMgr.registerFactoryLocation(FILEPICKER_CID,
"FilePicker JS Component",

Well, I don't have *snip* in there. Instead I am having that path. So I changedketjow wrote:I can't see a path to /tmp/whatever
you don't need to recompile, just find line 278 and replace:
Code: Select all
filePickerModule.registerSelf =
function (compMgr, fileSpec, location, type)
{
debug("registering (all right -- a JavaScript module!)");
compMgr = compMgr.QueryInterface(Components.interfaces.nsIComponentRegistrar);
compMgr.registerFactoryLocation(FILEPICKER_CID,
"FilePicker JS Component",
//@line 278 "/tmp/portage/mozilla-firefox-1.5/work/mozilla/xpfe/components/filepicker/src/nsFilePicker.js.in"
"",
//@line 280 "/tmp/portage/mozilla-firefox-1.5/work/mozilla/xpfe/components/filepicker/src/nsFilePicker.js.in"
fileSpec,
location,
type);
}
