             Bug #: 29912
           Summary: No parent button in file selection dialog
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.4-rc1
          Platform: x86-64
               URL: http://www.winuae.net/files/InstallWinUAE2330.exe
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: markk at clara.co.uk
    Classification: Unclassified


In some types of file selection dialog, there is no parent button. The
equivalent dialog in Windows XP does have a parent button, which makes
navigating the directory tree much easier.

If the program opens a selection dialog positioned in a subdirectory, to
navigate to the parent you need to use the treeview on the left side to
navigate down the directory hierarchy instead.

I noticed this while testing WinUAE, but presumably any program which uses the
same type of dialog will be similar.
- Download and run the WinUAE installer. Check the box to run the program at
the end.
- When the WinUAE Properties window appears, click ROM in the treeview then
click one of the "..." buttons to show a file selection dialog. There is no
parent button in the dialog. (There is also no indication of where in the
directory tree the current view is.)
