Hello,

I finally have FC4 installed and running but I have come across one major headache. It may be gnome related so I will have to check the gnome site as I hope for an answer.

I go to open a file or change a setting but I don't have the ability to type in the file location and only access to point and click.

In some cases, I have ".name" directories setup and I need to get access to them but I don't have the ability and I don't want the default installation to display them.

Also, for many tasks, typing in the location is much quicker that point and click through a whole list of displays.

How can I configure the file load/save dialogs to allow me to type in the paths/file names. This is presently affecting my usage of FC4 as I cannot access the files I need to.



Try pressing Ctrl-L when you get the file selection dialog.

Paul.

Thank you.

I just found that out deep in the gnome site. Of course I wasn't looking for "Location Bar". Now to find out how to get the location bar to be on the window at all times. Now where are those files?

I am glad I went to FC4 at work before doing it at home. My wife would have killed me. At least I will have some experience.


You can also open up the nautilus window then go to -- edit --> Preferences --> (select the behavior tab) and check always open in browser window.

ctl-L evry time is another option.

Jim
