[maemo-developers] hildon file chooser dialog

[From: ds]

Thanks a lot for your reply.
        
        I tried, but I can not pass the correct path.
        
        If I pass /home/user/MyDocs/.documents 
        it is falling back to /
        
        if I pass /home/user/MyDocs/
        it goes into MyDocs, but I can not change to images or other
        directories.
        
        My guess is: it is a scratchbox problem.
        
        The behaviour on diablo (N800) was, that you did not have to
        pass a
        current folder, and it was using the correct one
        (/home/user/MyDocs) but
        with the images directory and everything else present.
        
        Detlef
