Files: Clicking breadcrumbs in file picker takes me home

Created on 17 Jan 2020  路  2Comments  路  Source: elementary/files

Prerequisites

  • [x] I have searched open and closed issues for duplicates.

Describe the bug

File picker / chooser usually shows last used folder when I want to save / open file, e.g. when saving email attachment. Sometimes I want to go one folder up in hierarchy from this last-used folder, but clicking in breadcrumbs resets it to home directory.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Try to e.g. save some file from email.
  2. file picker should show last used folder
  3. click in breadcrumbs to change to folder up in hierarchy
  4. You end up in your home folder instead

Expected behavior


Breadcrumbs should work as in normal Files, clicking breadcrumb should take you to selected directory.

The code indicates that clicking on the pathbar is intended to work properly, but it for some reason it is not working. As a temporary work around you can use the <Alt>Up shortcut to navigate to the parent folder.
