LinuxDCPP can't share other folder than home dir

Any linuxdcpp users here? Before this, it's working just fine. Now it seems like I can't share any other folder than my home dir. It puzzles me though, because I did browse to the dir that I want to share yet it stills shows my home dir.

Anyone is experiencing the same problem?

I have the same problem, even with eiskaltdcpp from the AUR. Maybe a problem with any of the libs?

Re: LinuxDCPP can't share other folder than home dir

I have the same issue as well. I am using gnome3. I also tried eiskaltdcpp and got the same result.

Edit: I found that that if you go into ~/.dc++/DCPlusPlus.xml and add this

<Share>
         <Directory Virtual="name">/your/dir/here/</Directory>
</Share>

It works fine. Don't use escape characters either.

Re: LinuxDCPP can't share other folder than home dir

I'm running into the same issue.
When I edited the xml file dcpp would just overwrite it the next time it was started.
Is there a specific sequence that you are supposed to start the program/write to the xml file.
any help is appreciated

Re: LinuxDCPP can't share other folder than home dir

I fired up the debugger on this one... and then hit the google.

This looks like a GTK+ version 2.24.11 bug introduced in this change:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=674556

If you compile and run the test case Paul Davis created in comment #10 on that web page... and described on comment #9, the same problem is recreated without LinuxDC++ involved.

Unfortunately, AFAIKT Paul never followed up creating a new bug report and I'm too much of a privacy freak to create an OpenID to jump in the middle of it myself.

Re: LinuxDCPP can't share other folder than home dir

Workaround: downgrade "gtk2", "lib32-gtk2" to 2.24.9.

Should we wait until "linuxdcpp" converted to GTK3?
